  Honza Cervenka: I love 11.Nh4! It was probably an ugly surprise for black who only at this point spotted that after 11...Bxh3(?) 12.Kh1! the Bishop is lost (12...Be6 13.d5 etc.). After 11...Bg6 12.Nxg6 Smyslov closed g-file eliminating black's KS attack before it could have started and got nice Bishop pair with apparent advantage which he turned into victory very convincingly by quite instructive attack against black QS castling.
