Nxd5 9. Bxe7 Qxe7 10. Rc1 Bb7 11. Be2 Rc8 12. O-O c5 {Black has obtained a
fully satisfactory game, but as of yet there is little significant play in the
position} 13. dxc5 {White decides to get rid of a few pieces, apparently in
the expectation of a quick draw} (13. Nxd5 exd5 14. dxc5 bxc5) 13... Rxc5 14.
Qd2 Nxc3 15. Rxc3 Nd7 16. Rfc1 Rac8 17. Rxc5 Rxc5 18. Rxc5 Nxc5 {The first
part of White's plan (the simplification) is successfuly completed. The second
part (the draw) is not going to be so easy Black has several microscopic
advantages: a flight square for his King, control of e4 and a more active
placing of minor pieces} 19. h3 Bd5 20. Nd4 {Now Black can't capture the
a-pawn because of Pb4. White prefers this indirect protection of the a-pawn to
a3} (20. a3 {weakens b3 }) (20. b3 { Fixing a pawn to the same colour of the
bishop and inviting ... Pa5-4}) 20... Ne4 21. Qc2 $2 (21. Qc1 Bxa2 22. Qc8+

(27... Nxd5 28. Qc2+ { Black is faced with a difficult technical task}) 28.
Kg1 Nd2+ 29. Kh2 Qe5+ 30. Kg1 Qxd4 $1 {Illustrating a fact that Capablanca had
pointed out - that in Queen endings a Knight cooperates better than a bishop,
especially when there is a chance of mating attack. Kottnauer's conduct of
this game prettily supplements our treatement of the subject of liquidation}
