Jun-02-20 Carlsen vs Nakamura, 2020
| |
| tamar: Yes, I was also puzzled at the high evals after the missed 37 Bf7 Qxb2 38 Qd1 Rf8 39 Nxc6 Nd3
40 Rc2 Qa3 41 Be6 Nxa4 42 Bf5
The knight on d3 is attacked twice, but why does SF recommend the suicidal 42...Nxf2 going down

| tamar: Kudos to the estimable Benzol for recording Bronsteins notes. It seems he was determined to make 22...b5 work, but could not see how to if white played 23 Bxf6 Nxg6 24 cxb5 Qa5 with an unclear position. Stockfish confirms this was whites best path, but instead of 24...Qa5 Black had ... |
