Mar-20-15 Karpov vs Beliavsky, 1981 
|
xeneizexxx: According to Tibor Károlyi it was 17.h3 (not 17.b3): <17.h3! This clever move not only creates a potentially useful escape square for the white King, but more importantly forces the enemy bishop to choose between two diagonals <"Karpov's strategic wins I: 1961 - 1985 The ... |

xeneizexxx: I believe that the black dark square bishop is more important than the rook in the leningrad, at least it confuses your opponent and gives you more winning chances. See: R Fontaine vs M Vachier-Lagrave, 2007 |
