29. ... b7-b5
Full Game Score ... Previous Move ... Next Move
Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

Black took seven minutes over this move, but 29. ... b5 is really quite natural. Black can't allow 30. Na4, clamping down on the queenside squares.

29. ... Na7?! was possible, with the idea that if 30. Na4 immediately then 30. ... Bc2! and White is embarrassed. (1:42)
