  Honza Cervenka: Instead of 14...Bxe3 Vidmar could play 14...0-0 with advantage, as thé pin on e-file gives nothing to white, for example 15.Nd2 (15.Bxc5 Nxc5) 15...Rfe8 16.Nxe4 Qxe4 17.Rad1 Rad8 18.g3 Bf8 19.Qxa7 Qxc4 20.Qxc7 Qd5 ∓

19.f3!? would have led to equality after 19...Qf6! 20.Nxe4! (20.fxe4? Qd4 -+) 20...fxe4 21.Rxe4 etc.

24.Ne5? was a mistake allowing black pretty 24...Nxf2!

30.Qc5 could not save black but it would have allowed him to resist a bit longer.
