Oct-22-08		newzild: Looks like Short missed 39...Nd6!, which messed up the game real good. On the other hand, maybe he saw 39...Nd6! but allowed it anyway, since the only way to avoid it is to play the horribly passive 39.Ra5.

Apr-25-09		keypusher: 39....Nd6 was a nice shot. But it looks to me like Black was as dead after the move as he was before the move.

Apr-25-09		keypusher: I checked with Shredder -- 40. Ra7 is a clearer refutation of 39....Nd6 (which is itself weaker than 39...Rdg8) than 40. Rxd8. But Black is lost in any event.
