N-B5!
1. Nc5!
and if
a) 1…dxc5, 2. Rxd7!, Rxd7 3. Ra8
b) 1…Rc7, but things will surely go pear-shaped for black cos the a-file is free for the rook, and the Knight has joined the battle. 2. Nxd7, Rxc6 3. Nxb8
That’s right: 1.Nc5!
1.Nc5 dc5 2.Rd7 Rd7 3.Ra8 Qa8 Qa8+ leaves black with 2 Rooks for the Queen, so I dont see how white is winning..he definitely has an advantage but is that winning ?
samik whites passed pawns will prove very hard to stop, moreover white is ahead in development.
Nc5 Rc7
Nxd7 Rxc6
Nxb8 Rxc2
Ra8 Rc8
now white is up an extra knight for a pawn.
Samik
Nc5 dxc5
Bf4 !!!
now if Qxf4
Qxb7 is very strong.
Nc5! rest is easy mopping up.
1.Nc5! dxc5 2. Bf4 e5 3.Bxe5 Qxe5 4. Qxb7 Qf5 5. Ra7 is certainly decisive for white .
Nc5 opens up the lines.
Go Smyslov!
