May-11-06 Svidler vs Topalov, 2004 
|
es0: As spectacular as moves 14 to 21 are, I have to admit I am more impressed by that fact that all they do is create one little dinky weak pawn on e6. Then the ease with which Svidler converts this into a win. Black even throws his king into the defense and is still overwhelmed (well, the ... |
