Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

This pawn is the nail in the coffin...if play were restricted to the kingside, the game would be drawn. Now, Black will alternate threats on each side of the board.

"You can't dance at two weddings with one set of legs," (paraphrase of a famous I. A. Horowitz quote).
