Mar-15-08		TheAlchemist: 19...Qxa2!! was a beautiful shot, 20.Rxa2? cxb3 21.Q~ bxa2 with an advantage for black. 20.Qc1! was a great reply, and here 20...Qxb3! would have perhaps been better, leading to 21.Bxe5 Bxe5 22.Rxb3 cxb3 24.Rb1 b2 25.Qd1 Bc4! (or 25.Qc2 Rc8 and 26....Bc4), pity black didn't see it, he was probably in time pressure at that point. click for larger view 26.Na2? was probably a time pressure error too, leading to a repetition.
