Thank you Fernando. I was quite nervous during the ending when I saw
the white king moving to the queen side to hunt for the two weak
black pawns on c6 and a6 leaving its own king undevelopped. But the
wall Rebel created with Nb7 did the trick and according Smyslov himself
there was no win. Well.. during the game I was not convinced of that as
the Smyslov position looked real promising. But these monsters are tough
defenders (most of the time). When I saw Rebel showing senseless moves
in its main-variation (Bg7 / Bh8 / Bg7) I relaxed as this was a sign
for me there was no progress for white. I am very happy with the draw.

Not to speak about the Israel League, so far 4½ out of 5. What is there
left to wish? Nothing...
