Re: World Chess Championship (Game 5)
White must be precise in this position or they will suffer a pawn storm supported by two powerful bishops and a rook controling an open file

It's a logical move,the white bishop must be secured so that the white queen can start to play more actively....AdminX wrote:[Event "World Chess Championship 2008"]
