  Fusilli: Wow. Just wow. Was this really a winner at move 37 or Yusupov just made it happen?

Position after 37...axb3:

Here, if white leaves his g-pawns in place and also his king protecting them from f2, and then simply dances around with his bishop, can black ever win that? If the black king marches to the queenside to harass the bishop and the c3 pawn, then white can simply plant his kind on e3 and his bishop on b2, and black cannot kill a g-pawn with his bishop because his bishop would have to be left on g6 to cover white's promotion.

But wait, doesn't that logic also apply with the white pawns on g3 and g4 instead of g2 and g3?

I don't know, but winning an opposite-color bishop ending with no pawn material advantage and *both* players having a passer seems like quite a feat to me.

Mar-30-19  jvv: That logic doesn't apply, because the white king has just one place(f3) from which to protect the pawn on g4 and can't dance.

  Fusilli: <jvv> OK. Then, it seems that 43.g4 blundered the game.
Mar-31-19  siggemannen: Bad loss for white. Romanians had a nice match going against the mighty Soviets
Mar-31-19  jvv: <Fusilli> "Then, it seems that 43.g4 blundered the game." Not so sure, if white plays 43.Kg1 black can play c5.
