Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-03-05  Poisonpawns: This is a great game to learn from.As much as I love the Dutch Defense,one of the complaints about it is the weakness left around the King by pushing the f-pawn.In this game Lutikov is playing well and misses a possible winning continuation and instead loses immidiately.22...Rf6? is the losing move,allowing the move 23.e4!(note the pin on the a2-g8 diagnol!Now here is blacks winning line 22...Rf7! guarding the weakness of the diagnol. 23.Rac1 Qh4+ 24.Kg1 Re6 25.Re2 Qh5! 26.Rf2 Rg6 27.Kh1 Bf6 28.Bf3 Qh3 29.Ba5 Bh4 30.Rcf1 Rfg7 and the attack is crushing for black.
