  TheAlchemist: If 21...Rb5? 22.Rxg7! Bxg7 (22...Rxd5 23.Rh7+ Kg8 24.Rh8#) 24.Bxg7+ Kxg7 25.Qf7 and Qh7 mate

I currently don't have an article with translated excerpts from Polugaevsky's book Sicilian labyrinths (or something like that) with me, he annotates this game there too, with the emphasis on Black's prophylactic strategy starting with 10...Re8, as to prepare for White's inevitable attack. Someday I'll try and post a brief translation, I don't know if the book is to be found in English, it's supposedly only in Russian.

  An Englishman: Good Morning: Black had to play defense for 40 moves until finally consolidating with 50...Rg4. Amazing patience.
Nov-03-09   Eduardo Leon: <TheAlchemist>, I have the book (the two volumes) translated to Spanish. This game is so ****ing awesome. It's so epic it brings tears of joy to my Sicilian-loving eyes.
