Kibitzer's Corner
May-04-07   LivBlockade: After 23. Rxb4, White is attacking both Black Knights. I suspect that the game score is wrong, and Black played 23...Bc8 instead of 23...Ba8. As shown, White has several opportunities to easily win a piece. For example, 24. Nxa8 (followed by 25. Rxg4) or 25. Nxa8 or 25. Rxg4. I can't believe Tarjan would play 25. Bh3 (assuming Black's Bishop is on a8) to attack a Knight that he could have simply taken.
