| Oct-09-09 | | Sem: Smyslov used to make it all so easy. Euwe, in a joking mood: 'He plays the same common moves you and I make, only he wins the game.' |

| Oct-09-09 | | lostgalaxy: 20...f6 may have hold!? |
|
| Oct-09-09 | | njchess: Most point to 13. ... Bc4 as the move that gives White the initiative, and, to be certain, it does. However, I think Black's underlying problem is an poor strategy. 12. ... Be6 almost begs White to play 13. f5 thereby giving White a move with tempo. Then Black just bungles the tactics with 13. ... Bc4, but its the careless 12th move that gives White the edge. As to why Black is seeking counterplay in the center in an essentially closed Sicilian is anybody's guess. 12. ... b6 followed by Bb7 and d5 might have served him better. True, it's slow, but I don't think White has any immediate threats, so there is no hurry. |

 | | fm avari viraf: Smyslov plays with great ease & elegance & systematically outplays Ruda to achieve his goal. A didactic game! |

| Nov-10-10 | | xombie: With all due respect and reverence to this positional masterpiece (after all, it is games like this that supply our instructive treatises with material) - I had seen this in Euwe's most excellent work "Judgment and Planning in Chess" - I think Rudakovsky just blundered away to a loss here. e5 was just not on. Your ordinary patzer of 2010 would play exactly the same way. Much celebrated, but highly faulty in my opinion. |

| May-11-11 | | maltebricht: In Weeramantry's book the text differs from the one given here: 23...Rg8 24.Nxf6 Bxf6 25.Qxf6+ Rg7 26.Rg3 Rg8, reaching the same position. |
|
| Jun-14-11 | | Llawdogg: A truly seminal Smyslov game regarding the power of a knight on d5. |
|
| Nov-20-11 | | SoundWave: This game is also included in 'Secrets of Positional Chess' by Drazen Marovic. |

| Oct-24-12 | | BarcelonaFirenze: Does 5...,a6 avoids the Keres attack in the Sicilian? Is that why Kasparov played that agains Karpov? What happens if 6.g4? Thank you, friends! |

 | | WCC Editing Project:
This game was played in the 14th USSR Championship (1945) in Moscow. Smyslov managed only shared 10th with Chekover, behind Botvinnik, Boleslavsky, Konstantinopolsky, and Bronstein, with +6 -6 =5. The was a distinct, and seemingly abrupt falling off of form for Smyslov, who had enjoyed much better results in his previous three USSR Championships, in which he finished no worse than 3d place. ##############

<e5 was just not on. Your ordinary patzer of 2010 would play exactly the same way.>Actually 11...e5 does not look like a patzer's move at all: if coupled with a subsequent 12...exf4 followed by 13...Be6 it would have been perfectly in style with the modern treatment of the Scheweningen.
Furthermore, even after Black's actual followup, as many users have already pointed out, he overlooked his dynamic chances. |

 | | SteinitzLives: Probably Smyslov's best game of this tournament. Knights are made for outposts, might say Smyslov: which is counter to Tal's quote that knights only exist to be sacrificed for pawns to weaken king positions. |
|
| Aug-22-16 | | Howard: A major weakness of Chernev's MIGOCEP, in my view, is that he doesn't take care to explain where the loser of a game went wrong. So, in this classic, where did Black err ? |

 | | Retireborn: <Howard> 12...Be6 must be a mistake, as after 13.f5 White's attacking chances always look good. 12...exf4 13.Bxf4 Be6 is the right way to play. 13...Bc4 is probably a mistake too; he should keep this bishop to fight for the d5 square. Having said that, after 13...Bd7 14.g4 Bc6 15.Bf3 h6 16.g5 hxg5 17.Bxg5 Qb6+ 18.Kh1 Qxb2 19.Rg1 I still prefer White's K-side chances. |
|
| Aug-23-16 | | Howard: Thanks ! At any rate, it appears that Smyslov could have won quicker by pushing his pawn to f6 one move earlier. Still remember playing this game over a couple times back in '78. |
|
| Oct-12-16 | | Jimmy720: Very instructive |
|
| Aug-15-18 | | ughaibu: And yet, Rudakovsky finished above Smyslov in this championship. |
|
| Jul-02-20 | | Chesgambit: 18.c3 of course best but f6 gxf6 Nxf6 kf8 nxe8 rxe8 it's hard to win because heavy pieces on the board |
