Sep-23-10 Carlsen vs L Galego, 2010 
|
rndapology: I can't say I understand Galego's moves here - first 16... Nb4 which nudges White's queen to where it was probably already going anyway. Then, exchanging off the light-squared bishop for some reason (gives up contesting e6). Then, finally snatching 2 pawns and completely missing ... |
