📘 73.Kf7??
Parham has made a blunder in a winning position.
(73.Ne6! +- Now, White's plan for the win:
1- Removing the black pawn.
2- Moving the rook to the 6th rank.
3- Transferring the knight to f6 with maneuver Ng5-h7-f6.
4- Retreating the rook to 7th rank.
And the black king will be caught in a mating net).
73...Ra7 74.R×a7= stalemate.

📘 23.f4?
The white's rush to launch a kingside attack costs him the game.
It would have been better to improve the knight's position to d3 via b2-square.

📘 11.g4!
A very interesting move that has been played twice in 1997 and 2010.
11...Ne8?! 12.h4 +/-

📕 15.Ng1!
Great stuff! White declares a fight back on the key light squares. He prepares f3 to cover the e4 square, while the re-routing of the knight via e2 is surprisingly rich in prospects.
15.Bf1?! Bxf1 16.Kxf1 Ne4 Black is better.
15.Ne5? Nxe5 16.dxe5 Ne4.

Tarrasch left us one of the wisest bits of advice: It’s not what is removed from the board that matters, but what remains. After the exchange on e5, the bishop on g7 becomes impotent.
