Feb-17-03		Chubby Chooba: 18.Qxg7+ might work against Bagirov due to the shock value, but I bet you can't beat Fritz from the same position.

Feb-17-03		mdorothy: Shows the slight advantage of two rooks over a queen.

Feb-28-06		Eatman: Suetin in his little black book (the Russian one) mentions that there was a special brilliancy prize announced for that particular round (sponsored by some club or something). After 17. ... Bd6, Bagirov said mischievously to Suetin "Do they give prizes for brilliant moves too?". So Suetin spent like an hour thinking the sacrifice over. In the end Suetin realized that sacrifice had to be intuitive as he couldn't find a forced mate. Also, according to him 19. ... Kg6 would have held on and probably won for black. Of course that was found much later on by analysts. Suetin doesn't mention if he won the brilliancy prize, but I would imagine he did.
