rodchuck: <sleepyirv> and <al wazir> say it all for me. After Nxd5 I certainly wasn't expecting a4. I felt right chuffed at finding for me a good-looking "solution" <al wazir> and then the game proceeded quite differently (but the same result in the end). Can one claim to ...

rodchuck: Why not 19 eXf6? 19...d5 could be met with Qd2 and white's knight is safe.

rodchuck: Did Averbakh lose on time trouble? Rfg2 seems obvious but I can't see an immediate win for white.
