Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-07-07  Autoreparaturwerkbau: That's some trouble-making knight! He makes a more-or-less fine journey: <Ng1>-<Nge2>-<Ng3>-<(back to)Nf1>-<(and again)Ng3>-<Nh5>-<Nxf4>-<Ne6>,

until black is totally fed up with that menace, wastes precious black-sq.-bishop and finally loses the game because of that weakness. Quite astonishing.

<19.Ne6!> is a clever clearance-combo, cashing in his very good Nf4 outpost for an even better Qd5 grip. After <27.Bxd5> Black's K-side looks like the aftermath of a BB-sac, but without the sac. Maybe Black didn't even prep for the hackneyed pawn storm in this line, but felt obligated OTB to punish White's "bad" opening. And White prepped for that ...
