  Honza Cervenka: White went astray from 35.Qc2 which seems to be a bit passive move. 35.Qh5 looks better. But 36.b4 could still keep the game quite equal. 37.Bxf5 was a suicide, it was necessary to play 37.Qe2 or 37.Be2 to stop Qf3, after 37.Qe2 Bxf2 38.Kxf2 Qxd3 39.Qe5 leads just to draw but after 37...Rd7 with a threat Re7 black is clearly better. Also 37.Be2 Bb6 leaves white in worse position but definitely better than forced mate in a few moves, which could follow in the game after 37...Qf3! Rubtsova missed that opportunity, and her 38...Qh1? (38...Qd2+ was better) allowed white to come back into the game with 39.Be4 Qxh2+ 40.Bg2 but another grave mistake of Bykova 39.Ke3?? have sent the game definitely to the abyss.
