Ouch!      Aug-08-14 J Bass vs D Semcesen, 2013   cowscowscows: A great finish. It seems to me that 12. ... f4 seizes the initiative, with Black's 13. .. Nh5 is thematic in these positions with pawns on e5 and f4. White haw control over the open d-file for most of the game but Black has correctly evaluated its not worth much. For example, ...      Jun-09-14 Nisipeanu vs Kasimdzhanov, 2002   cowscowscows: Black doesn't seem to have found the best defence - 15. ... h5 seems unnecessarily to weaken his defences. Better may be 15. ... Ng8!? as in Grischuk vs Leko, 2002 or in Fridman v Lanka (Germany 2005).      Jun-09-14 V Akopian vs P K Wells, 2006   cowscowscows: Black's plan with 14. ... f5 looks promising, though he appears to have conceded his queenside attack in the process.
