Jun-26-15  jerseybob: Wade's 13.00? makes Smyslov's job easier, but even a better move like 13.Qd2 leaves white in a bad way, with no dark-squared bishop and lots of open lines leading into his position.

  perfidious: <jerseybob>, Keene and Botterill mentioned 13.Qd2 as an obvious improvement over the game, but felt Black would have more than enough for the pawn even then. From much experience of playing these structures (with both colours--the more fool I), maybe our silicon friends could defend somehow, but for a mere human, this is a difficult business.
