Aug-30-09		King.Arthur.Brazil: 10...Bg4 is thematical counterplay to change N doubling the f P, while W catch his 2B. 13.dxc5 is a inovation at that time, later proved to be not good.14... Rab8 gives force to rescue b5 if needed, and defends Pb7, free the BQ to x c5 also. 15.h3? asking for loose! But Rc1 or Qc2 also didn't convence me. Afer 18...a5! B had superior position: 21...Qxc5 win a P and had a passed P in c3. After 29.Bf6! B is ready to invade W lines 1 and 2, which mates.

Aug-30-09		King.Arthur.Brazil: After 33.Qf1 (forced) Qxf1+ 34.Kxf1 c2! win the B, cause if 35.Rc7 Rd1+ 36.Ke2 c1=YQ!
