Kibitzer's Corner
Apr-12-14  wordfunph: "Ciocaltea, whom I played, complained after the game that I had been thumping the clock terribly hard. I don't recall anything of this, I certainly didn't do it intentionally. I was very nervous, in a superior position for some reason went in for complications, and nearly lost. However Ciocaltea overlooked a tactical stroke, and his position collapsed."

Black's rooks look imposing on the b-file, but it is all an illusion. The White knights and bishops cover all of the possible entry squares along the b-file.
