  Honza Cervenka: Black managed to play very decent game against former world champion until an unfortunate slip 28...Qxd5? After correct 28...e4 29.f3 Rde8 30.fxe4 fxe4 black has no problems and white has hardly anything better than repetition of moves after 31.Qc5 Qg3 32.Qe3 Qd6 etc., as Pd5 is hanging and 31.Qd4 e3 is better for black. 31.Rd1 can be met with 31...Rf7 32.Rd4 Rf3! (with idea 33.exf3? Qg3+ -+) 33.Qe1 Bf5! 34.gxf3 Qg6+ 35.Kf2! exf3 36.Qxe8+ Qxe8 37.Bxf5 Qe2+ 38.Kg3 Qg2+ 39.Kf4 f2 40.Ra8+ Kf7 41.Ra7+ with draw, as black King cannot escape from checks without risk of loss of the game, or 32.Rb7 (preparing Bxe4) 32...Rf6 33.Qa7 (33.Bxe4? Bf5 -+) 33...Rf7 34.Qa7 Rf7 35.Qe3 Rf6 etc.
