19. Bb3xd5 Full Game Score ... Previous Move ... Next Move |
Gata's idea contains a drop of poison...after 19. Bxd5 Rxd5 (the most consistent), White has good play with 20. Ne4 (with the idea of Bg5, exploiting the dark squares). After the other recapture, 19. ... exd5, White may be a tad better - he has a slight lead in development. This could be a long one (depending on the challenger's stamina and state of mind). Roustam says..."Play on!" (1:05) |
