i von d3 weggezogen und dann mit b2-b3 "geknackt".} 5.dxc5 Bxc5 $10 6.Nf3

{This was a very interesting match-up. Bronstein's philosophy and approach
to the game are well known, and the current co-champion of Hastings, 
Stuart Conquest, has a remarkably similar outlook. Both aim for 
uncompromising chess, preferably via steering the game into unknown 
territory as soon as possible. It is not unusual for either of them to be 
immersed in thought at a very early stage of the game. There are of course
many practical drawbacks with such an apporach, though it is satisfying 
when it works. Here, Bronstein reinvents "the wheel", and not a 
particularly round one.}

is even, they assumed that Black had lost on time!} 1-0

come in handy on f4.} ) 9...Ba6 10.Rd1 Rc8 11.Nc3 $5 {I have not been able
to find this exact position anywhere, so perhaps this is a new move. The

is very risky.} 12.bxc4 ( 12.Ne5 $5 {was suggested by Gausel, with the

superior thanks to his advantage in space, but making something of this 
abstract concept is no easy matter.} 12...b4 13.Na4 Bb5 14.Ne1 $1 {Heading
for the ideal square d3. White's plan is to arrange a2-a3 at a favorable 
moment, when either b4 or a7 becomes weak. White does not fear ...Bxa4, 
which does not change his basic plan, and also robs black of the b5 
square, which he may need later.} 14...Rb8 15.Nd3 Ne8 $1 {A useful move, 
which creates the possibility of ...f5 or ...Bf6, and sends the knight 
within range of b5 or b4.} 16.Rab1 a5 17.e3 $6 {Bc1-f4 was also possible,

makes it a bit easier for black to create counterplay.} 17...f5 18.a3 {

overtaxed brain.} ) 18...bxa3 19.Bxa3 Nc7 20.Bc1 Na6 21.Nab2 e5 {It seems 
that black must play this to create some play as his queenside comes under

kingside, white will not be able to escape with his king. This is an 
understandable fear, but it is hard to find a way for black to achieve 
this. After white's nervous decision, the game sinks further into
