“[This game] was agreed drawn when White seemed to be getting the worst of it, although the post morten was inconclusive on this point”, according to Herbert Scarry in the ICJ tournament report. However, after 20. Red1!, White has a clear advantage. One point is that a quiet move such as 20... Qc7 can be met by 21. h3!, when Black's light-squared bishop is awkwardly placed.

1/2-1/2
