SeamusD: Nice! I saw the Queen giving check on b7 and stopped calculating there, but the game continuation is obviously better. |

Dec-14-11 Van der Wiel vs H Olafsson, 1991 
|
SeamusD: Once you see the weakness of the black squares around the Black king, you realize his fate is the same as his bishop's and 26.Bf6 is the coup de grace. What I like about the final position is that only pawns have been exchanged and all the pieces are still on the board. |

|
SeamusD: Bronstein is an artist first and foremost, so given a choice of winning methods, he characteristically chose the prettier one. |
