Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-24-12  wordfunph: sizzling 24.Ng5!
Oct-15-15  fispok: What phenomenal positional sensibilities both of them have. Entirely closed development for 24 moves and then a positional sacrifice leading to some pretty fireworks. Also an excellent demonstration of not allowing piece cohesion in an open game; those bishops are monsters.
Jan-09-18  kenilworthian: If 19...Nb6 then White wins with 20.Nb5 Qd7 21.Be6! and the Black Queen runs out of squares, which will cost him a piece.
