does little to prevent the strong
looking response 18...c5!

  wwall: Better may be 35.e6+ f6 36.Rd7 Rxd7 37.exd7 Bb6 38.Rc1 and 39.Rc8.

Perhaps better is 39.h5 g5 40.Rd7+ Re7 41.Rxe7+ Kxe7 42.Kg4.

May-05-08  Halofire: i would have done 16.Bxf4 securing the center and winning the pawn. I have played the King's Gambit Accepted a lot and that pawn can become a nuisance if not a full out threat if left unchecked. After he makes the move 17.Nd5 then retreat the bishop to the safety of g3. From there he can help defend against possible attacks on the kingside plus he still maintains whites center. Next follow up with 18.Nf3. this further secures a strong center for white. I think that Shneider timed his moves just a little off and gave Karpov tempii. That is my determination.
