Jul-23-04  Dick Brain: Smyslov having some fun with a sort of Blackmar-Diemer Gambit.
Apr-10-06  Paintbucket: That's kind of what this is. Play can even transpose to the Blackmar-Diemer. 4 ...Nf6 is the better (and safer) move.

Apr-06-18  tigreton: Smyslov takes advantage of his lead in development to carry his pieces to the kingside, threatening the weakest point, h7. After that he destroys the main defender, the knight on f6, and his queen makes a visit to Black's king, who can't avoid all the mating threats, i.e., Rh1, and g5-g6-Qh7. It's worth noticing the important role of this g-pawn in this kind of attacks.
