Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-17-07  Karpova: After 18...Nxd4 Black gets rid of <his> weakness in a way as White gets an isolated queens pawn, too. But in fact, Rubinstein's pieces become much more active afterwards.

26....g6 27.Kg2 b4 28.Rb7 Qc3 29.g4

32...Qxf3+ 33.Kxf3 Kg8 34.Ra7 Rc8 35.Kg4 Kf8 36.f4 Ke8 37.Kf5

33.e6!! b3?! (<33...f6 appears to be slightly better but it's still toatlly lost: 33...f6 34.Qc6! (threatening 35.Re8 and checkmate following) 35...Qa8 36.Rb7 (no need to fear the "pin" 36...Re8 37.Qd7 Rg8>)

34.Qxf7! (<Beautiful! 34.Rxf7 was also winning 34...Rg8 35.Rf8 Qa7 36.Rxg8+ Kxg8 37.Qxb3>) 34...Qa8+ (<34...Rxf7 35.exf7 Qa8+ 36.Kg1 Kh7 37.Re8 b2 38.Rxa8 b1=Q+ 39.Kh2>)
