Jan-19-06 Suttles vs Fischer, 1970
| |
| Hanzo Steel: Soltis annotates 7. d5!?
"The night before this game Suttles worked out a new idea based on trading off bishops via d4." I think it might not be a bad idea. Black's bishop can be bothersome for White in this opening, but 10. e5! might bust it. |

| |
| Hanzo Steel: That must be why Anand is taking so long. He hates to take the draw, but his other alternatives are inferior. The longer he thinks, the more likely it will be a draw. |
