| |
| pbernh: 'quovadis: here white could have won this game by 28.Qg3! and if 28... g6 or 28...Ne6 29.BxR and easy win ... ' Why would black answer with any of the moves suggested (g6/f6/Ne6/Ng6/Qe5). Isn't it more simple to just reply 28...Re5 or 28...Rg5?
Why hang the rook? |

Jan-01-09 Stellwagen vs Korchnoi, 2008
| |
| pbernh: I have two questions, based on what I would be tempted to play, that I hope someone can help me with.
1) why was black not tempted to move ...c5 before he did on move 20?
2) why is 43...Rxa3 and the advance of the a and b pawns a bad idea? |
