Jan-04-21  Ulhumbrus: How does Radjabov answer the attack 5 g4?

To begin with 5...0-0 follows Lasker's advice and disregards the attack entirely.

Looking at the further course of the game the move 15 gxf6 moves the g pawn a third time to exchange it for a f pawn moved once, making a loss of two tempi.

The h pawn also loses two tempi in advancing to h5.

After 16...Be6 Black has developed all of his minor pieces and has castled while White's king lacks any safe location.

Black answers carefully each White threat in addition to completing his development by 19...Rd8 and then goes on to make a combination against White's uncastled king by the sacrifice 26...Rxe3+!
