Apr-10-21 Korchnoi vs Kasparov, 1988
| |
| manselton: A classic example of Black's oldest defensive plan against 7.Bc4. Notice how Black did not exchange pawns until _after Rb1. After this the plan of ...Na5, ...cxd4 and ...b6 leaves the WQR on a poor file. Essentially Black has gained a tempo. If grabs the pawn with 10.dxc5?! then ... |

Dec-03-19 Rubinstein vs J Mieses, 1909
| |
| manselton: Position after the analysis line 52...e2! [DIAGRAM] And now 53.Re3 Kg4 54.f6 Kg5 55.b3 (not 55.f7? Rxf7 with a check on e7.) Black must be careful not to play 55...Rxf6? 56.Rxe2 which is a tablebase loss but rather 55...Kg6! which draws. |
