Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-13-22  optimal play: 9.h4?

Instead 9.Nf3 is much better.

12.dxe5??

The correct continuation is 12.Qe4 with an equal game.

What is the source for this game?

I know it's only a simul but it's hard to believe Borislav Kostic is playing white in this game against a nobody.

On his 1924 tour of Australia, Kostic played in simul exhibitions against as many as 60 opponents, and frequently gave blindfold simuls, so he was bound to have a few clunkers, but this game seems unlikely.

On a few occasions he would allow his opponent to choose the colour, with the result he played simuls with the black pieces, so I wonder if these names might be the wrong way around?

I've done a search for this game but can't find anything.

Maybe it's right but I'd like to know the source.
