Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-04-07  engmaster: 9) Nd5, white obeys the rule to take possession of d5 only when the black bishop moves to e6 as black can no longer take the white Kt as he will lose the bishop pair.

15 exf5, obeying the rule to take the f pawn when black cannot re capture with the Kt.

16) f4 the blocking move

20) White has the bettter pawn structure and safer king
