| wellsometimes: Hard to believe how simply and tightly 17.d4 traps the black queen, cutting her possible retreat squares, whereas the coordination of white pieces protects the first horizontal, allowing completely dominate the black queen. A very good geometrical pattern for ... |

| |
| wellsometimes: Tales are interesting, amusing. Strictly from the standpoint of learning, once Capa made his blunder, things change to how Saemisch should have technically managed to win the game. To stop, to slow, to unharm, somehow, the desperate Black's pawn storm on the kingside, seems to |
