Better was 9...c4.} 10.Rd1 Bb7 11.exd4 Nb4 {Black is obeying a classical principle of establishing a blockade in front of the isolated pawn. But thanks to the pin on the e- file, White has a resource.} 12.d5 Nbxd5 13.Bg5 {Black's position is a virtual pin-cushion (Bg5 on Nf6, Qe2 on Pe6, and Rd1 on Nd5). The simple threat is 14.Nxd5 Bxd5 15.Bxd5, since 15...Qxd5 loses to 16.

The simple threat is Rd1-e1 and Nd4-c6.} Kf8 18.Nf5 h5 {Otherwise Whit e would have delivered a nasty check at h6. Now the overworked Black queen is deftly exploited to bring a rapid conclusion to the game.} 19.Rxd5 Qxd5 20.Qxe7+ Kg8 21.Qxf6 1-0 [Event "Leningrad"] [Site "?"] [Date "1949.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Spassky"] [Black "Aftonov"] [Result "1-0"] [PlyCount "41"] 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 c5 5.Bxc4 e6 6.O-O a6 7.Qe2 b5 8.Bb3 Nc6 9.Nc3 cxd4 {This is a positional mistake, because the isolated pawn which it creates will be able to quickly satisfy its lust to expand.
