25.Ne2!
Boris: My understanding of this position is that it is very important for White to restrict the movement of the knight on f6. If Black does not include his knight in the action, his initiative will be insufficient and White has to win because of his extra pawns. So White has to move his knight from d4 preventing ...Nf6-d5. After the text move (25 Ne2), the knight on f6 cannot join the other black pieces, the a2-square will be protected by the white knight from the active position on c3 and Black's position becomes bad.
25...Rb8 26.Nc3 Qb4 27.Rhe1 Rd6 28.Qc2?!
An inaccuracy which gives Black additional chances.
28.Qc1! was more precise.

13.f4
When you play a move like this you have to calculate variations to make sure your opponent cannot take control of the e4-square. But here it is clear Black cannot do that, therefore 13 f4 is sound. White's plan is to create pressure in the center so the e- and f-pawns have to move.
13...Re8 14.Bf3 Nc5 15.e4
Gulko: Now that Black threatens to play 15...Bf5, taking control of e4, I have to play e3-e4 myself.
15...c6 16.Nc3+/=

🔸 Bad Kissingen 1928
🔹 Twelve of the best masters around came to the Bavarian spa town of Bad Kissingen for an all-star tournament:
🔻Efim Bogoljubov,
🔻 Jose Raul Capablanca,
🔻Max Euwe
🔻Frank James Marshall
🔻Jacques Mieses
🔻Aron Nimzowitsch
🔻Richard Reti
🔻Akiba Rubinstein
🔻Rudolf Spielmann
🔻Siegbert Tarrasch
🔻Savielly Tartakower
🔻Fred Dewhirst Yates
🔹 While this was an opportunity for Capablanca to regain some of his luster after the match with Alekhine, it was Bogoljubov who pulled another one of those commanding performances out of his hat to finish on top by a point. Such performances provided a good reason for Alekhine to pick him as a match opponent.
🔹 A big push in the middle of the tournament gave Bogoljubov a 1.5 point lead over Capablanca, whom Spielmann had defeated in round 6 for what would prove to be his only victory in the event. Capablanca got to within 1/2 point by defeating Bogoljubov in round 9, but no closer. The tournament also saw an excellent performance by Max Euwe, who stayed near the top before fading at the very end.

🔹Efim Bogoljubov
🔹Russian German chess grandmaster
🔰Efim Dmitriyevich Bogolyubov was a Russian-born German chess grandmaster who won numerous events and played two matches against Alexander Alekhine for the world championship
🔘Full name: Efim Dmitriyevich Bogolyubov
🔘Country: Russia Germany
🔘Born: April 14, 1889
🔻Stanislavchyk, Tarashcha Uyezd, Kiev Governorate, Russian Empire (now Kiev Oblast, Ukraine)
🔘Died: June 18, 1952 (aged 63)
🔻Triberg im Schwarzwald, West Germany
🔘Title: Grandmaster (1951)
🔰Efim Dimitrievich Bogoljubov was born in Stanislavchyk, Kiev. After being a prisoner in Germany during the First World War he was 1st at Berlin 1919.
His first great international success came at Bad Pistyan (1922). After sharing 1st with Alexander Alekhine and Geza Maroczy at Karlsbad (1923), he won both the USSR Championship (1924) and the USSR Championship (1925). He then relocated to Germany. His greatest international victory came at Moscow (1925), where he finished 1.5 points ahead of a field that included Emanuel Lasker as well as Jose Raul Capablanca, the former and current World champions. At Bad Kissingen (1928), he again won first prize ahead of Capablanca, and in 1929 Alekhine - Bogoljubov World Championship Match (1929) and 1934 Alekhine - Bogoljubov World Championship Rematch (1934) he played two World Championship matches with Alekhine, losing both times.
🔰After World War II he only played in a few tournaments. FIDE first awarded the International Grandmaster title in 1950, but denied the title to Bogoljubov because they claimed he had been an ardent supporter of Hitler. FIDE awarded him the title the following year.
