Jul-28-19  paulthebox: 15. Nd5! a well-known theme but this time used for positional gains. As 18... f5 19. Nxe5 is no option, white has time for 19. Qh5 with control of the white squares. Ivanovic seems rather cooperative in exchanging into a hopeless Knight vs Bad Bishop ending.

  Retireborn: This is the score as given in Informator and Megabase; however van Reek has the moves 24.a3 and 33.h3 switched to 24.h3 and 33.a3.

This affects the evaluation of 28.Rdf3, since if the a-pawn has not moved then Black can reply 28...e4 29.Nxe4 Rxf5 30.Rxf5 Re8 31.Rf4 f5! relying on the back rank theme.

Did van Reek have a different source, or did he make rather a strange mistake? Perhaps a Timman fan can clear this up.
