| somethingstrong: my initial thoughts were Bxh6, because in the line played, black can still be stubborn with 18...Bxf2+ |

| somethingstrong: upon further inspection, 16 Bxh6 fizzles out when 16...Nxe5 instead of 16...gxh6? also, 18...Bxf2+ just delays mate after 19 Rxf2 Qxa1+ 20 Rf1. |

| technical draw: Julio Kaplan went on to win that tournament and the world jr. championship. When he returned to Puerto Rico (where he was living at the time from his native Argentina) he was "Crowned". Somebody threw a rock in his direction as he was walking down the street and hit him right on his head! He actually required stitches. Maybe it was a fan of Timman? |

| patzer2: Polgar features move 16. Nf6! in his big book of combinations as number 4467, under the theme sacrifice on f3/f6. Alhough it is a simple example, it is instructive. So, I've added it to my "demolition of pawn strucure" game collections. If 16...Kh8, then 17. Bxh6!  . In the final position, the threat 19. Ng5+ is decisive. If 18...Rg8, then 19. Qxf7+ . |

| JimmyVermeer: patzer2, it's game 4497, not 4467. 4467 is Karsens vs. Ullrich. If Black hadn't resigned, the game might have ended as follows: 18 Qh5 Bxf2+ 19 Rxf2 Qxa1+ 20 Rf1 Qd4+ 21 Kh1 Qe3 22 Ng5+ Qxg5 23 Bxg5 f6 24 Qxh6+ Kg8 25 Qg6+ Kh8 26 Bxf6+ Rxf6 27 exf6 a6 28 Qg7# |

| withingrace: or 18. Qh5 Rg8 19. Ng5+ Rxg5 20. Bxg5 Bg8 21. Qxf7+ Kh8 22. Bf6+ Bg7 23.Qxg7# although i doubt this line would be played... |
