Jun-07-11		Llawdogg: 26 ... g5! is a great pawn sacrifice that wins a pawn and wins the game. If the pawn is taken, then Taimanov will win a piece after a couple of pawn moves (f4 and then e5). With Kuzmin's decision not to accept the sarifice, he only loses a pawn. But that is enough for Taimanov to convert the advantage into a win with excellent technique.
