| |
| something1234: I wonder if someone could explain something to me. I am trying to learn how to play better chess so i am analyzing the early masters. Games like this confuse me moves like 23..Re8 the file is closed, is it a waiting move, he cant have been wanting to protect the e pawn or line |
