20... e5!
The only correct move with the idea of releasing his queenside bishop and preventing White from playing e5.

22.Qc1!
Aiming for Bg5, swapping off the dark-squared bishops. The point is that after ...Bb5, Black is holding wonderfully on the queenside, but this is not an area where he is going to be doing anything really active for now. He needs to expand on the kingside. After White's next move, that's much more difficult. If I'd just played 21...g5, then I would have stood very well indeed. I went into the tank again and actually played the next 9 or 10 moves extremely well and extremely quickly (Sadler).

32.g4!!
Stunning tactics...and gaining space on the kingside as well of course!
32...Be6
32...g6 is a little better, but will shed a pawn on the sixth rank somewhere.
33.g5 hxg5 34.hxg5 Rf8 35.Re7 Re1
White wins too after both 35...Rd5 36.Re2 Bf7 37.Ba2, and 35...f4 36.Rd6.
36.Ba2+-.

Google dedicated a thematic logo on the home page of its search engine, Lyudmila Rudenko, the first Soviet chess player to become a world champion.

“Today's Doodle, which draws artistic inspiration from the graphic arts and posters of the 1960s, reflects Rudenko's determined determination during the World Cup games, and we appreciate Rudenko's accomplishments both during and outside the match,” Google employees emphasize. .

✴️ About Lyudmila Rudenko
🔸 Lyudmila Vladimirovna Rudenko was a Soviet chess player and the second women's world chess champion, from 1950 until 1953. She was awarded the FIDE titles of International Master and Woman International Master in 1950, and Woman Grandmaster in 1976
🔸 Soviet ches Woman Grandmaster
🔸 Second women's world chess champion
▪️ Full name: Lyudmila Vladimirovna Rudenko
▪️ Country: Soviet Union
▪️ Born: 27 July 1904
Lubny, Poltava Governorate, Russian Empire (present-day Ukraine)
▪️ Died: 4 March 1986 (aged 81)
Leningrad, Soviet Union
▪️ Title: International Master (1950)
Woman Grandmaster (1976)
▪️ Women's World Champion: 1950–53
🔸 Born in Lubny, in the Poltava region of what is now Ukraine, Rudenko was taught by her father how to play chess at age 10, although at first she was more serious about swimming. After grammar school, she moved to Odessa and took a degree in economics. Rudenko became the swimming champion of Odessa in the 400 m breaststroke. In 1925, she was swimming vice-champion of Ukraine (breaststroke). She started a career as an economic planner for the Soviet Union, and chess became a hobby.
🔸 Rudenko began playing tournament chess in 1925 after a move to Moscow. In 1928, she won the Moscow women's championship. She then moved to Leningrad, where she met and married scientist Lev Davidovich Goldstein; in 1931 they had a son. In Leningrad in 1929 she began training with chess master Peter Romanovsky. She won the Leningrad women's championship three times.
🔸 In World War II, Rudenko organized a train to evacuate children from the Siege of Leningrad. She described this as the most important accomplishment in her life.
🔸 Women's World Champion Vera Menchik died in 1944 during an air raid. After the war, in the winter of 1949–1950, the World Chess Federation FIDE held a tournament in Moscow to determine the new women's champion. Sixteen women from twelve countries competed, with the four Soviet players taking the top four spots.
By now aged around 40, Rudenko won (scoring nine wins, one loss, and five draws).
She held the Women's World Championship title until losing it to Elisaveta Bykova in 1953 in the next championship cycle. Her score was 6–8 (five wins, seven losses, and two draws).
Rudenko's post-war chess trainers were Alexander Tolush and Grigory Levenfish.
