Sep-23-12 M Dutreeuw vs C Horvath, 1992
| |
| Old Wolf: I don't think it's enough to see just to move 23. You have to assess the end position. White has a rook and knight , Black has a queen. Those situations can go both ways, for example if White didn't have the defence of Ne3 to the mate threat then the result could have been very ... |
