I called the statement "White's pieces (especially the N on b5) are not well-placed for a defence on the K-side, and white has not yet begun a pawn push on the Q-side. To delay is not wise, white may regroup and bring his misplaced N back." Nonsense. If you move that Knight away from b5, the Rook on a8 does not have to protect a7 anymore and will immediately join the attack on the Kingside. Black would get the same attack as in the game _without_ sacrificing the a-Pawn which is of course much better for black. A quote from Chessbase.com: "After the game Kasim discussed the possibility of delaying the rook move from a8, preparing his attack for a few more moves and only then giving up the a7 pawn.But that is an idea for another day." So much for the "brillancy". Michael >Till then, best > >A.S.
