Kxb7 {A standard position from the 'Rubinstein French'. In most cases 
White tries to bludgeon his way through Black's defences by playing c4 and
then d5, though Black's defences appear sturdy enough. The plan that 
Groszpeter chooses is more subtle.} 15.c3 Bf8 16.Qc2 {Target: the lone 
h-pawn.} 16...Bh6 17.Ned2 f5 {In order to block the attack on the h-pawn, 
the f-pawn creeps up the board, but this was just what White was hoping 
for: the e5 square, which was securely protected, is now the destination 
of the White knights.} 18.Nc4 Nf6 19.Nfe5 $14 Nd5 20.Qe2 Bg7 21.Qf3 a6 22.
Nd3 Ka7 23.Qg3 Qxg3 24.hxg3 Kb7 25.Rh1 h6 26.Nce5 {A nasty chain reaction 
could follow if Black isn't careful: Black is reluctant to expel the 
knight from e5 with ... f6 as it would weaken the e6 pawn; and if the 
e-pawn advances then the f5 pawn would be weakened.} 26...Re7 27.g4 fxg4
