Rd. 6 In Progress - Bluvshtein
Bd. 20 GM Motylev, Alexander 2.5 RUS 2687 - GM Bluvshtein, Mark 2.5 CAN 2590
Move 10 - Mark has some strategic weaknesses - an advanced eP and doubled, isolated cP's - material equality
- however, Stockfish evaluates it as only a very slight advantage to Motylev ( so much for the 1800 analysis !! )
