Very noticeable: Yusupov is always looking to exchange queens in Dutch endings. Maybe the reasoning is that Black's weaknesses are more apparent with queens on, while his strengths (extra space) are more apparent with the queens off?

The very typical theme for Yusupov: fixing the kingside with ...g4. He does this very often in the middlegame as well.

🔰 Ksawery Tartakower was a leading Polish and French chess grandmaster. He was also a leading chess journalist and author of the 1920s and 1930s whose books remain popular even today. Tartakower is remembered for his sharp wit and aphorisms.

🔘 Born: 22 February 1887
Rostov-on-Don, Russia
🔘 Died: 4 February 1956 (aged 68)

🔰 Savielly Grigoriewitsch Tartakower was born in Russia and moved to Vienna at age 17. He became a doctor of law in 1909, but he never became a practicing lawyer(1).
