📘 68.Kh5??
Zhigalko's blunder in an equal position. He won the Belarusian Chess Championship in 2009, 2012 and 2013.
68...Rb4! Zugzwang

📘 22...Nc5?
The White Queen suffers from lack of space and Bocharov could have exploited that with the following continuation:
22...R×d4! 23.B×d4
(23.N×d4 Rf6 -+)
23...e5 24.Bb2 Rf6 -+
23.Rcd1 =

🔸Matulovic,M
🔸Marjanovic,S
🔸Yugoslav Championship 1979
📕 20.Na4!
This knight was not doing anything substantial on c3. Now it is heading for c5-d3-e5, and also eyes the b6-square. 20...Nxd4 is not possible because of 21.Nb6!+-.

🔸Wijk aan Zee, 1998
📕 21.c3!
An attractive idea! Polgar intends to transfer the knight to d5- outpost via c2-e3 squares.

The deciding game of the 1947 Chigorin Memorial and the first time Keres and Botvinnik had met in 6 years.

@UnityChess
After 32...b4! the writing was on the wall for Keres.

@UnityChess
Paul Keres gave a 40-board simul in 1946 to sailors on the "October Revolution", which was docked in Tallinn.
