    a trifle hesitant eh...our good doc?

   Hitting the base of the pawn chain... well Nimzowitsch never said anything about giving up a pawn to do so but Prof plays his own way!
12. cxb5 cxd5 13. exd5 axb5 14. Nxb5 Ba6 15. Nec3 Qb8 16. Be3 Nd7 17. Rfc1 f5 18. a4 Bd8 19. b4 e4!
   Another clearance sac reminscient of the famous Kotov-Gligoric, Zurich 1953 game which the former was lucky to scrape a draw two pawns up in the final position.
20. fxe4 Ne5 21. Qd4 f4 22. Bf2 f3 23. g3 Qc8 24. Qd1
   and watch how all the Black pieces gravitate towards White's kingside for the kill.
