An interesting move with the idea of ...Ng8. then, he can consider continuations like ...Bh6 and ...f5.

📕 27.Rh3!
Heading for f3 to tie down a black rook to the defence of f7. Many players forget that rooks can be developed vertically as well as horizontally. Keep a watch out for these possibilities. 27...Ne7 28.Rf3 Rf8 29.Rd6!.

📕 32...b4!!
An excellent pawn sacrifice to clear the way for the light-squared bishop to enter the fray. 33.axb4 Ba4 intending Bc2-e4. In the game, White made a mistake: 34.Ra1?(34.Rc1-/+) 34...Bc2 35.Bg3 Be4+ 36.Kf2 h5!-+.

another interesting photo. A small town in Kazakhstan Pavlodar in 1987. Semifinal of the USSR. But what does a boy in short pants (left) do in an adult male company?
