Dec-11-05		KingG: 21.Qd3! was completely winning. But 21.b4?? was a blunder, 21...Bxf7! gives Black the advantage. eg 22.Rxf7+ Qe1+! 23.Rf1 Qc3

Jun-28-06		KingG: Obviously, 20.Qxa2 Bxa2 21.Nf5+ was winning as well. So was 20.cxd6, and other wins were missed later on. Strange that such a great tactician as Anderssen managed to miss all of the many possible winning moves.
