  Jonathan Sarfati: Averbakh himself said, in an interview in "The Day Kasparov Quit" by Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam:

"For example, we had a player, Nezhmetdinov, who if he had the attack, could kill anybody, including Tal. But my score against him was something like 8½–0½ because I did not give him any possibility for an active game. In such cases he would immediately start to spoil his position because he was looking for complications."

Jun-05-08  ToTheDeath: Why then does the database only have 4 of their games, 2 of which are draws?

  Jonathan Sarfati: The site itself explains, "* Based on games present in our database; may not be complete."
Jan-15-10  Shah Mat: @<Jonathan Sarfati>

an appropriate quote, given the way the queen and bishop stifle all queenside play by Nez's two knights.

Apr-07-17  Raginmund: @Jonathan Sarfati I was going to post same thing you posted here... Very nice quote
Now I'm curious to see Averbakh x Nezhmetdinov games :)
