DHW: I don't think black should have played 8...a6 in the opening of this game, the pawn on a6 turns out to be a weakness throughout the whole game. 8...Qc7 looks safer to me |

DHW: Very instructive endgame the point is that Blacks pawn on f6 stops the Black King from getting to the h-file: 1.g4! hxg4
(1...gxh4 2.gxh5 h3 3.Kf2! the e-pawn can't be captured because the h-pawn would be unstoppable) 2.h5 Ke6 3. Kf2! Kf7 4.Kg3 Kg7 5.Kxg4 Kh6 6.Kf5! (White calculates |

DHW: Finding Nxe5 and looking ahead far enough on all of blacks responses to realise that you come out on top is truly amazing. |

DHW: Thanks for that Towershield I was wondering about 20...Bf5. You are right it doesn't hold.
Great combination! |

DHW: This is such an amazing game! David Bronstein had nerves of steel to sacrifice material like this especially as it looks like the white king becomes exposed to blacks queenside pieces. Just spectacular! |

DHW: It's funny how I always seem to look at the wrong moves first before I find the right one despute the fact its completely forcing! Great puzzle! |
