Nov-08-08		jerseybob: With 24..dxc3 black unleashes a whirlwind upon himself. Perhaps black thought the white d-pawn would be weak; it's anything but! 24..Nd7 to stop 25.Bh6 and beef up the the e-pawn with an eventual f6 might have held.

Jun-19-11		AlexanderG: 32..Ng4 is a blunder - the knight was guarding against the back rank mate. 32..c2 seems to draw.

Jun-19-11		NM JRousselle: I don't see how 32... c2 saves Black. 33 Bf4 followed by Bd2 looks like clear sailing for White.
