Smart Moves (2)

The last moves before the diagram position arose (Leko - Jakovenko, Jermuk 2009) were 119.a5 Bxa5. Although Peter Leko was tortured a long time in this endgame he showed that he still hasn't lost his humour.

With 120.Nxa5 d2 121.Nc4 he had the laughs on his side (121.- d1-Q 122.Ne3+ =). Jakovenko himself didn't want to be outsmarted and played 121.- d1-N. Double smart! 1/2-1/2
