  wwall: This game won a brilliancy prize.

White played 22.Nxc5!, a double sacrifice of knight and rook. Black played 22...dxc5. If 22...Bxb1, then 23.Nxa6 bxa6 24.Nxa7+ Kd7 (24...Qc7 25.Rxb1) 25.Qd1, threatening 26.Qa4+ for the win.

22...dxc5 23.bxc5 Nc7 (better may have been 23...b6. If 23...Bxb1 24.Rxb1 should win a little easier than 24.c6 bxc6 25.Nxa7+ Kd7 26.Qa5 Nc7 27.Qa4 Ne5) 24.Qa5 Nxb5 (24...a6 25.Na7+ Qxa7 26.c6 and 27.cxb7+) 25.Rxb5 a6 (25...e6 26.c6), now White played 26.Rb3. But stronger seems 26.Rxb7! Qxb7 27.c6 Qa8 (27...Qc7 28.Bb6) 28.c5 Qa7 29.Bxa6+ Kb8 30.d6 exd6 31.cxd6 Qa8 32.Qc7 or c7 mate.
