Comment by player 2 : Thibault de Vassal :

I played several awful moves in this game to avoid a draw and complicate the position as much as possible. It just turned badly against me quite early and I was very near to loose it.

White annihilated Black's plan in the opening, and after I play several dubious moves : 16.b4 ! and Black is in real danger, maybe lost... In my opinion key-move is 20. ...Nd5 ! only one giving hope to Black, "protecting" b7-a8 squares. But that's really hard to prove, there was many hard lines to envisage for White.

Thanks for the lesson, Nigel.. :)

Morphy was probably the greatest genius of them all. (Bobby Fischer)

Mit sehr nachdenklichem Gesicht schreitet Bobby durch den Turniersaal. Was ist passiert?, fragt Lombardy. Ich stehe schlecht, antwortet Fischer. Lombardy: Dann biete doch einfach Remis an. Fischer: So schlecht stehe ich nun auch wieder nicht! (Robert James Fischer)

Con el tiempo, empecé a progresar en partidas decisivas. Tal vez porque me di cuenta de una simple verdad: no solo estaba yo nervioso sino también mi oponente. (Mikhail Tal)
