This game (Tarrasch vs. Alekhine Bad Pistyan, 1992) made an enormous impression on me about how powerful and dynamic a pawn centre can become. It is ironic in the fact that Tarrasch, a great theorist of the classical school, is defeated by his own teachings about the pawn centre.
Great one. Thankyou.
Thanks for sharing this. I do assume you mean 1922 -- or else these are ghosts gathered around the board
21. d4 is just the kind of move I NEVER think of when looking at positions. Even though I am regularly victim to the "when in doubt, push a pawn" syndrome.
