squares should not mean abandoning the light ones! Of course, its complicated,
but in the long term black suffers.} 12. O-O fxe3 13. fxe3 c5 14. Be1 Rc8 15.
Bb3 Qe7 16. Qf3 Rce8 17. Bf2 Bxc3 {Switching to a strategy which pins all on
the knights maintaining good squares. The game suggests that this doesn't hold
entirely on the level of blockade, although the possibility of simply removing
a pawn or two is enticing.} 18. bxc3 Ne4 19. Be1 Ndf6 20. Ra2 Ng5 21. Qf4 h6 ({

promising for white in spite of the pawn minus, but the whole thing is murky.
In the game, it seems that black's blockade simply fails to guarantee his
light squares immunity.}) 22. h4 Nge4 23. g4 $1 c4 24. Bxc4 Rc8 25. Bb3 Nxc3
