Bums like us can produce these games given the chance.
Don't stand back and admire them till they blind you, rope them in.
devour them, nick their ideas. You can play like these guys.
I spend loads of time on here de-mystying the game and breaking it down.
Producing games like this are within all of you.
This game played on RHP has strong echoes with the Smylov game.
I played the delayed Ruy Lopez. With the d-pawn on c6 I never have to worry
about Black kicking in a d5. The antidote to all 1.e4 openings.
The delayed Lopez Exchange was part of my opening rep for over 20 years.
The moment this appeard all I planned was getting a Knight to f5.
I even offered a pawn to get it there. (he never took it)
That is why I played 9...Bd2 so he could not pin the Knight on c3.
I never played played 9...Nd2 intending Nf1-g3-f5...
....because he can play Bb4 and if I hit it with c3 I suddenly have a backward pawn
on an open file and he has ideas.
So I have to follow c3 with d4 and he can swap on d4 and play c5.
That was not part of the plan.
Just like Smyslov there is tactical flurry where I nick two pawns with the
same delay in recapturing trick as Smyslov.
I too undouble pawns just to grab the e-file.
(I could ot think of anything else to do with my Bishop).
I hold the e-file like Smylov held the 7th. Black cannot trade Rooks as
the King & pawn ending, the easiest of all endings to win (if you are winning)
is a stroll.
And I think my swap off pawn sac transposing into a won pawn ending
is just as good as Smyslov's. (in fact it's better) 😏
Judge for yourself.
If a crap kicker like me can do something this then so can you.
Now get out there and play then post me a masterpiece.
