22... Kf8 23. Rc3 |
In summary, black played a near perfect game. White just simply was able to take advantage of a couple slight oversights that lesser mortals would have gotten away with. The most telling feature of this game was the issue of king safety as black through out the game did very little to slow the white advance on the king side. While at the same time doing little to create counter chances on the queen side. This necessarily does not mean black should loss but it does mean that his life is made much harder if he ignores whites' king side overtures. It is telling that for most of the game black's queen side forces remained undeveloped. Finally, it is difficult to pin point the exact point where black went astray but maybe the line 7. ...Be7 needs to be reexamined in favor of 7...Qc7 8. Qd2 Nbd7 9. g4 h6. Another possible improvement may come on move 12 where black played 12. Nc5 going for activity but ultimately taking a key king side defender away from where it is needed the most. This is why I suggest 12...Rd8 allowing the d7-knight to come back to the defense of the king quickly via f8. | ||||
