15..0-0? is very weak, better is 15..♘:♘e5. 23..♖8d8?? is awful! b5 or ♔h8 was neccesary! 33..♖:f2? is the last mistake...

  Honza Cervenka: <10..Ngf6 goes out of theory.> A few weeks before this game in Bugojno Larsen used the same line against Ljubojevic (see Ljubojevic vs Larsen, 1984) and won the game in great style. Beliavsky was apparently well prepared here.
