Fiendish: The idea of 15...c5, I think, is to make c4 a permanent immobile weakness, while the passed pawn is immaterial. 18...b6 is a beautiful move, isn't it? |

Fiendish: Are you sure that quote about one's strengths and limitations (and those of the opponent) was not Alekhine's? |

Fiendish: 15.Qe2 was none too flash. 19.Nxd6 loses a piece. 21.Qd3 suffers Nxb2 and then if 22.Nchecks QxN! |

Fiendish: I think the ending was always going to be difficult to defend. Black had maximum rook and king development and mobility, with play in the centre; he chose a wise minor piece exchange (knight) and his pawns couldn't be attacked. |
