Nov-30-14 Ivanchuk vs Nisipeanu, 2012

kstokelyk: Good question, <sakredkow>. I think a lot of online blitz players definitely would have gone 13...Bxf3. It could be the fear of two bishops in a game that could open up more later. Or perhaps the desire to get a white knight on e4. Or perhaps the particular desire to get ... |
