NM Dan Heisman selects for you highly instructive games, that will help you improve your game! In this new series, Dan analyzes famous and not-so-famous games that he thinks will give you a tool to get to the next level.

Today's show: Cherepkov takes advantage of some small Bronstein inaccuracies in the opening to build up a strong attacking position. In a complex game, both sides miss opportunities. Finally, Bronstein plays a clever combination which should equalize but, in mutual time trouble, Cherepkov misplays and Bronstein has a winning promotion. But while still in time trouble, Bronstein admittedly miscalculates and throws away the win. Finally, with at least a draw in hand, Cherepkov also returns the favor with a mis-calculated sacrifice. When the smoke finally clears after time control, Bronstein has a clear win and Cherepkov properly resigns.
