Jun-28-09 A Wojtkiewicz vs B Asanov, 1980
|
porgue: szajjbus: Can anyone explain why Wojtkiewicz played
16.e5 and why not 16. ... dxe5?
I think the idea is 17.Nb3 when the black rook has to retreat thanks to the threat of g5 removing the defender of d7. After 17...Rc7 18.g5,18.Nc5, 18.Nb5 all seem crushing. Hope that was helpful |

porgue: The main reason why Nc6 is more critical than nbd7 is the b4 square. many of the lines involve a knight supporting the d5 outpost via b4. also c6 is more active as it attacks d4 and controls e5. over all I believe this makes it a superior move |

porgue: <<Kangaroo: The continuation <[after 20. ... exf5] > might be: <21. Qb3+ Kh8 22. Ndf7+ Kh8 23. Nh6++ <[double check!] > Kh8 24. Ngf7+> and Black will have to give up a queen for knight.>
... with mate to follow quickly, e.g., 24. ... Qxf7 25. Nxf7+ Kg8 26. ... |
