Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-08-24  Everett: <22.Ne4!> offers White a stronger position than in the game

  offramp: I see that the knight went on the other route, i.e. Bronstein played 22. Nc3-b5. Petrosian straight away played 22...Bd7xb5. User: Everett reckons that 22. Nc3-e4, threatens 23. Nd6. To me it looks much better that Bronstein's actual move. Perhaps DB wanted to make a threat, 22. Nb5 threatening the black queen at c7.
Jan-10-24  Everett: <offramp> yes, and <22.Ne4> threatens c5 as well. Along with c5 and d6, g6 is also weak, ready for an opportune Bg6 by White. Seems the first player underestimated the immediate capture of 22..Bxb5, which is strange because it�s clearly a favorable exchange of minors for Black.
