Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-03-13  paramount: 21...Bxb3? is a bad move. Black doesnt need to change his queen. He lacks in term of materials so better keep his queen to sharpen and complicating the game. 21...Qd7! unassailable better

21...Qd7!
22.Qa2 Kxf7 both sides keeping the queen and black has a better chance to draw.

If 22.Qc3 Kxf7 23.Qc7 Rb7 24.Qxd7+ Rxd7...both sides loses their queens but black rook at the 7th rank defending tha a-pawn guarantee a better game.

After 21...Qd7! if 22.Ne5 then Bxe5 23.Qc3 Bd6!, the c-file fully protected and black has a better chance to draw.

These simple problems like exchanging could be very instructive, i think.
