Nov-30-03  Abiodun: Jeremy Silman, in his text "The Amateur's Mind", cites White's move # 32.g5 as an example in how to effectively deprive enemy Knights from any advanced support points. A tactic that was dear to Steinitz's heart, and employed well here, by Hort.

  Fusilli: <Abiodun> Yes, 32.g5 and 33.g4 demonstrate that the pawn structure is not disadvantageous for white, but the opposite. Really neat positional squeeze.

  perfidious: Perhaps Ciocaltea believed exchanging off on g3 would free him of the horrors of a knight on the eternal square e4, but it consigned him to a still worse fate. Once White plays g5 and g4, Black has no play at all and his pieces all lack useful squares.
