  plang: 8..g6 seems a lot riskier than 8..Kf8 as the kingside dark squares are difficult to defend. Boleslavsky recommended 11..Nxc3 12 Nxd4 though he felt white would still be better. 20..Nc6 resulted in the loss of a piece but other lines given by Boleslavsky result in a withering attack for white. Boleslavsky says that Lisitsin did not resign till move 44 but he does not provide the last 12 moves which seems to be an "editorial" comment on his part.
