An interesting ending in which Fedoseev could have made a draw in an instructive way:

📕 18.Nh1!!
A fantastic move. The knight is doing nothing on g3, as it is barred from the e4-square. Therefore Nimzowitsch intends to reroute it to the g5-square via f2 and h3. Imagine for a second that the knight was already on g5. Then the white bishop's control of the c4-g8 diagonal suddenly has fangs: after Qh5! there would be the double threat of Qxh7 mate and Nf7+.

Congratulations if you understand why this is a good move - you have a deep sense of positional play. White gives up his strong bishop in order to prevent Black plugging the c-file with 19...Nc4.

Hoogovens- Beverwijk, January 1961. Ivkov vs T van Scheltinga, Borislav Ivkov can tie for 1st-2nd places with Bent Larsen. The latter doesn't seem too concerned. Ivkov won!
