Jun-20-25 Abdusattorov vs A R Saleh Salem, 2025
| |
| DutchDefensefromNL: Especially those knight-maneuvres were interesting. 12. Nb1!? was an interesting move. I looked at 12. Ne5?! looks like a good pawn sacrifice: 12. Ne5?! cxd4 13. exd4 Qxd4 14. Nxd7 Nxd7 15. Nb5 and White gets some active play, or am I missing something? |

Apr-14-25 Spassky vs Polugaevsky, 1960
| |
| DutchDefensefromNL: I still play the Polugaevsky. If they now play the main line with the so called Poisoned Pawn Variation it is really hard to get an advantage with Black, the Queen trade option going for the worse endgame, I simply despise. Luckily I only played one game against it. 8. e5 |

Apr-10-25 K Richter vs G Fuster, 1939
| |
| DutchDefensefromNL: As I said, it is just losing. in every case for Black. 9. d5. = +0.9 in Whites favour, while the pawn sac after d5 e5 is given +1.8. As <Alan McGowan> showed in the Nyezhetmetdinov game, b5 is the only move for
black to equalize. |

Apr-10-25 A Pluess vs J Pelikan, 1936
| |
| DutchDefensefromNL: <TheFocus>, indeed, white played passive and did allow Black his f5. Indeed, a bad game by white. |

| |

Feb-12-25 V Murzin vs I Rozum, 2017
| |
| DutchDefensefromNL: Ivan deserved this win, with whites boring and passive play, including f3 (just play b4 who cares), blacks kingside pawn storm was the real game winner here. |
