  Honza Cervenka: White got into troubles quite early in this game. Already the plan 8.Nbd2, 9.Bb3 and 10.Nc4 instead of natural 8.Nc3 looks too slow and artificial to me. 13.Nce5 seems to be a mulish denial of previous mistake(s) which cost white a Pawn (13.Ncd2 would be still better) in a few moves and in the end also the game.
Mar-05-08  Knight13: 32...e5 and 34...Nxb3 are very good choices.

Dec-23-24  tbontb: A sad game for Bogoljubow. As White he plays quietly against the Slav and Alekhine Black defends actively, winning an easy pawn when White blunders badly. Black simplifies to an advantageous endgame with 24....Qe5, somehow "overlooking" the simple 24....Bxe4 which seems to win immediately. White seeks active counterplay but is easily repulsed, the game finishing in a direct mating attack.
