Jul-14-11		Honza Cervenka: 16...Nxb4?! was almost certainly an unsound sacrifice but quite interesting. Young Ivanchuk did not handle highly irrational position in optimal way and after his counter-sacrifice 22.Nxg7+ (better seems to be 22.Rxc3 Bxf5 23.Bb3) with following retreat of LS Bishop to b1 (also here 23.Rxc3 was a lesser evil) black could get a clear advantage after 23...Qc6! He still got a decent game but after some inaccuracies, which allowed white to consolidate his position and get some counter-play, he awfully blundered with 31...Rg8?? (31...Nxf3 32.Qxh8+ Kd7 33.Qf6 Nxe5 was necessary) and Ivanchuk finished him by pretty but not extremely difficult tactical shot 32.e6! (It is a level of Tuesday or Wednesday Puzzle I guess).
