13. b4xa5
Full Game Score ... Previous Move ... Next Move
Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

Consistent with his previous play of open line on the queenside. Note 13. b5 would be a grievous error since 13. ... b6 allows Black to close the queenside. Then Black would have all the chances because of his potential kingside attack.
