Oct-05-08		tpstar: White probably thought he was winning after 17. Nf4 Qf6 18. g5 Qxb2 but may have missed 19. Nxh3?! Qc3! and the threat of 20 ... Re1+ 21. Rxe1 Rxe1# wins the Queen (20. Qe3). Instead 19. Qxh3 Qc3!? 20. Ne6 is a much better way to return material by closing the dangerous e file. Yet Black could then trade down by 19. Qxh3 Re1+! 20. Rxe1 Rxe1+ 21. Kxe1 Qxc1+ 22. Ke2 Qxf4 with a tough endgame. Note 25 ... Qxg1+ also wins, but the patient 25 ... Qxd3+ was better by picking off White's central Pawns. Great tactics by Black.
