Dec-09-04  shakespeare918: this game looks like white won. not at the end. But I think if he wouldent have blundered he would have won. That Is what I think. I may be wrong.
Feb-24-11  meppi: blacks position looks like kings Indian not french. White played well in restricting blacks queenside with b4 a4 and c4.

black had very good defence which provoked the attack, white should have dealt with weak back rank by making luft before starting attack. But maybe white did not have time.

  Domdaniel: Even in the early days, Korchnoi was brilliant in complex positions where his 'heroic defence' could win out.
