 | | al wazir: I think 15...f5 was the losing move. At any rate, I always lose when I play moves like that. What's wrong with 15. Ndxb5 Rd7 16. Qc4 ? After, e.g., 16...Rxd1+ 17. Nxd1 Bb7 18. Nc7+ Kd7/Kd8 (18...Ke7 19. Qb4+, winning the ♗) 19. Rxf7. White is a ♙ up, black's ♙s are weak and his ♔ is awkwardly placed. |

 | | Once: Fritzie thinks that black starts to go seriously wrong with the sequence 21...Qh6, 22...Nb6 and 23...Nc4. But with a king trapped in the middle it's hard to suggest alternatives. Very impressive attack by Lev. A crush. |

| | Once: Ach, details, details!
Very impressive attack by <the guy sitting opposite> Lev. That's what I meant to say. Sort of. |

 | | catlover: <al wazir> 15.Ndxb5 looks like another line that gives white pressure against black's position. I guess it was no surprise that Polugaevsky played the Polugaevsky variation, but this game isn't a great advertisement for that variation. Looks risky. |

 | | Gregor Samsa Mendel: <CHC>--After 24..Bxd6, the white queen is on f6 and the king is not in check. 24..Bxd6 loses to 25 Bc6+ followed by Rxe6+. |
