80. Bc2-d1 Full Game Score ... Previous Move ... Next Move |
If White were to keep his Bishop on the diagonal, Black's e-pawn could not advance. For example, 80. ... e4? 81. Bxe4 Bxe4 82. Kxc4. However, White is pleased to offer Black the opportunity to advance the pawn, since Black will be very weak on the dark squares, especially d4. |
