Apr-23-06		wwall: Perhaps 20.Be3 or 20.Ra7. If 21.Qf2, then 21...Ba6. 24.Nc3?? loses. Better is 24.Na7 and if 24...Rad8, then 25.Nc6 Or 24...Rb6, trapping the Queen.

Aug-27-06		Albertan: Another idea was to play 20.Qf4 and Aaron would have had equality after: 20.Qf4 Ne5 21.Qd2 Nc4 22.Qd1 Qh4 23.Nge2 Rf8 24.Ra7 Rxf1+ 25. Qxf1 Ne5 =

Feb-15-07		Cyphelium: <wwall> 20. e3 e5 21. f2 c4 looks problematic for white, for example 22. h1 xe3 23. xe3 xd5. 20. a7 e5 21. f2 c4 is better but similar. After 24. a7 ad8 25. c6 b6, white will lose the queen anyway.

Jun-20-08		Xeroxx: this reminds of the kasparov vs nunn game except that kasparov won as white.
