harmless system.The weakness of d4-square is often used by Black. This 
game is not exception.} 12...b4 13.Nc2

17.Bf3 Nb8 18.a3 $2 {Till this moment the game was balanced,but this move 
makes White's position very dangerous-the fixed pawn on b2 will create a 
real headache for White in all possible complications.Aslo the c4-pawn 
became weak.}

20...Nc6 $1 $17 {Now Black is ready to play Nd4 even if he will have to 
double his pawns (e5:d4).The key of the position is the pawn on b2 - if 
Black will succeed to open lines for his queen and rooks, the game is 
over.} 21.Nf5 Rfd8 22.Rfd1 g6 23.Qh6 $6 
    ( 23.Nxd6 $2 {Horvath,T} 23...Nd4 $1 $19 )
23...Bc8 {White's position is very difficult (bad pawn structure and no 
coordination), but next move will weaken the kingside as well, after which
the position becomes total hopeless.} 24.g4 $2
