Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-02-09  AnalyzeThis: This was a great success for Korchnoi. Reshevsky was very strong on the white side of the Nimzo Indian, putting wins up on the board against the very strongest of players. Here, Korchnoi gets an important draw that really put Reshevsky in a bad spot.
Mar-16-15  zydeco: 14.a4 would have been more complicated.
Sep-13-22  offramp: Early on, the queenside pawns have all disappeared.

White seems to have a lead in development, but the Black queenside pieces are in good positions at their original squares. Odd!
