Black is waiting for a to take on d ,while a is clearly a useful move.( ) Williams, Simon K(- Howell, David W L(nd ch-GBR. .( . ),)) [E ]GM Arkadij NaiditschBest rating:We should not look at the rating of Simon Williams, who is amuch stronger player than he o en shows. Simon is famousfor his ultra aggressive style and a lot of great victories withbright combinations. I still remember his fantastic win overBoris Gelfand with the black pieces in the Stonewall. In thecurrent game, it seemed like Simon was once again goingto crush a much higher rated oponnent, but things wentdi erently. In a very promising position White just wantedto play too prettily, which led to the loss of more and morematerial and finally resignation. A sad end to a very beautifulgame..dNf.c e.NfBb+I like to play ...Bb as well.Bd , which seems to be.NbdAnother option isconsidered the main move..Nb !?I like this move, even if I would probably never playit. Usually White continues with .Qc .
