  Honza Cervenka: Very dynamic and energetic play by Smyslov. I like especially 15...Qa5 and 16...d3 which started all the fun here. 17.Qxd3 fails for 17...Qxa4 18.Bxa4 (18.Qxd7 Qxc2) 18...Nxd3 19.Bc3 Bxc3 20.Rxd3 Nc5 21.Rxc3 Nxa4 and black is a piece up.

I like especially 15...Qa5 and 16...d3> Not to mention ...a5-a4-a3 which increases the scope of his pieces on that side of the board. Necessary because of the stubborn defense by Bisguier. After losing a pawn he does not also lose heart but with 20.Bb3! sets up a good formation, firmly occupying the d-file with his rooks.

  perfidious: Bisguier's 11.e4 is probably not best here; in their 1983 Candidates match, Ribli played 11.b3 Re8 12.Bf1 e5 13.cxd5 e4 14.Qe2 Nxd5 15.Nxd5 cxd5 16.Qb5 against Smyslov and got the better position.
