Another interesting game.
ReplyDeleteI thought Black may have considered opening up the c-file after 11.Nf3 with cxd4 when the King could still be on the pin then maybe exchanging dark squared B's & maybe Q's and even Rook or Rooks.
I was thinking by getting rid of some pieces it allows Black to castle and somewhat relieves the bind on the Kside with the advance e5.
I don't have the broadband for video, in the video's you mention do they mention opening up the c-file before White castles?
