May-06-08		Honza Cervenka: Nice performance by Bogo. Unfortunately, the finish of the game was bit afflicted by severe time troubles of both players. 31...Rc8 was a tactical mistake in already very precarious situation that could have lost the game immediately if Bogo would have spotted 33.Nb5! with threat Nd6 against which black has no satisfactory defense (33...Rd8 34.Qe7+ Kg8 35.Qxf6 etc.). Bogo's 33.Rc2 was not that bad but after 33...Nc5 black seems to be still alive though white's edge is undisputable. But Euwe instead of that made horrible blunder 33...Qb7?? and Bogo scored full point with no additional effort.
