Conceited and smug? I thought it was just laziness not bothering to snatch the rook. I would move to b6 with an apologetic shrug :) Watching the Corus games unfold this afternoon many GM games strike me as beautiful, in terms of the harmony between the pieces and the geometry of the movement e.g. the simplicity with which Mickey Adams won back his pawn and put Ms Polgar under pressure. When I see how my pieces get in each others way I think it all depends who is playing.
