⚪️#197 (Strategy-White to Move)
🔸Gufeld,E
🔸Kolarov,A
🔸Odessa, 1968
📘 26.Kf1!
White intends to move his king to the center in order to control the d1-square. A common prophylactic measure in endgames with major pieces. then he can improve his own queen's position.
26.h5 gxh5=
26.f4 exf4 27.gxf4 c5! 28.Bxc5 Nc6 Black is fine since White's king is exposed.
⚫️#198 (Strategy-Black to Move)
🔸Ree,H
🔸Portisch,L
🔸Wijk aan Zee, 1968
📘 7...b6!
Considering that White is eager to play c2-c3 to secure his king on c2, Black hurries to put the bishop on the f1-a6 diagonal, where it will touch the key square on d3.
7...e5 weakens the d5-square and white can exploit it in future.
7...c4? 8.e5! Now 8...b6 can no longer be played due to 9.Nd4.
