Aug-21-08  ToTheDeath: White thought he would attack on the kingside- 19...Nh5!!- think again.

Taking the knight loses but White can survive with a worse position after 20.g5.

Taimanov's one slight inaccuracy was missing 26...Qxf3+! 27.Kd2 Qxe3+!! 28.Kxe3 Bh6+ 29.Kxe4 Nf2 mate! (or 29. Ke2 Rf2 mate)

Beautiful attack.
