Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

The most active try. Hoping for 59. ... Nxf6 60. Kg3 and White will capture the valuable c-pawn, and Black's remaining pawns will be difficult to advance since they are so close to each other. In general, the further away the passed pawns are from each other, the easier they are to advance, since the opposing King can't be in two places at once. (3:32)
