  Calli: 28.Qe4 Rd8 29.Ba3! looks winning because of the threat of Be7-Bf6. For instance, 29..Qc6 30.Qe1 b5 (or if Qc7 31.Nf6+ is good) 31.Be7 Rc8 32.Bf6 etc.

  tamar: 28 Qf2 didn't ruin anything though. After 28...Rd8 White missed another chance for glory.

29 Bc1! Qc5 (or 29...Kh8 30 Bg5 with an interesting echo of the Ba3-Be7-Bf6 idea) 30 Nf6+ Kh8 31 Nxh7!

Too many weak squares. Rybka assesses the whole line after 29 Bc1 as 3.23/21 and rising.

  Calli: <Tamar> You and/or Rybka are right. Just get to f6 or h6 and Black is toast. So this Bishop can swing both ways around the board? More trouble for the Catholics.
