May-31-11		GrahamClayton: Wojtkiewicz must have been shocked when White played 33. c7!, realising that after 33...xc7 34. d8+! the Queen is immune, eg 34...xd8 35. xd8 f7 36. f8#.

Mar-05-12		victorlyu: Polugaevesky's 34 Qd8+ is indeed brilliant. But Wotjkiewicz's careful counterplay gets him a draw, I think. Instead of 40 --- h6? and resigning he should play 40 --- Rc1+ 41 Kf3 Rc2+ 42 Ke1 Rc1+ (White's king must avoid the white squares because black's Qh5+ wins!) 43 Kd2 Rc2+ and draw by perpetual check since Kd1 leads to Qh5+! .

Mar-05-12		Fusilli: <victorlyu> I think you are right.

Mar-05-12		Penguincw: Nice win. White really knows how to be on the attack.
