As the Bulgarian chess saying goes, "I make your pawns look like your grandmother's teeth". :-)

Oct-21-07  Open Defence: actually i have wondered about the delayed exchange variation... Black cannot get in f6 as he does with the Breyer / Gligoric so there is always a risk of doubled f pawns too.. but only geniuses like Karpov can squeeze out the win with such a tiny plus
Apr-14-09  WhiteRook48: doubled pawns on both the c-file and the f-file
Mar-04-11  TheoNov: Too bad the game didn't continue 16. f4 exf4, as that would have completed the effect aesthetically!
