  An Englishman: Good Evening: These complications are making my teeth ache. I would think that Filippov had something in mind after 25.Rc7!?, but I can't see it at first glance.
Nov-07-06  razarahman: I also couldnt understand 27.Rc7 whree as next move to me was 27.Qxd7 Bxg2 but still 1st rank is dominated by white with two rooks. Can someone tell?
Nov-07-06  khense: How does black answer 25 Rc6, threatening the N on d7? If the N moves, it's Qd8#
Nov-07-06  Towershield: <khense> if 25.Rc6 Rd2.
Nov-07-06  Timothy Glenn Forney: Wow the answer to 25.Rc7 is 25...Rd2!!
Nov-07-06  khense: <Towershield> Thanks - It did seem too good to be true
Nov-07-06  Timothy Glenn Forney: Oxymeran! lol
Nov-07-06  TheBB: The pawnless advance, which Nimzowitsch warned us against...
Nov-07-06  Nozomi: Why is this game oxymoronic?
Nov-07-06  spleen21: what about 25 rc6 for white

  kevin86: The black attack started in a strange way:since the usual king knight was not present at f3,white entrusted a sentry in his bishop at g3. Black sac-ed a rook to not only end the career of the sentry,but also break up white's pawns-one was lost and another was doubled on g3. The attack came quickly and forcefully. White's counter measures were repelled as black chased away one piece at a time.

  kevin86: Oxymoronic-GOOD GRIEF!

I think white's position is pretty much lost by this point, and his only chance is to keep the queens on and try to generate some counterplay against the black king. Maybe he was hoping for black to move the knight, after which Qe7+ could be dangerous, with something like Rc8 to follow, hunting the black king.

After 27. Qxd7 Qxd7 28. Rxd7 Bxg3, black has four pawns for the exchange and a winning endgame. White needs to keep the queens on to have any chance of saving the game.

  Peligroso Patzer: White might have tried 28. Qxd7, but then 28. ... Qxd7, and if 29. R1xd7 (doubling on the seventh), then 29. ... Rb1+ 30. Kh2 Bg1+ 31. Kh3 Bb6 and Black is winning. White could, of course, play 29. R7xd7 in the above line (to maintain the defense of his back rank), but the position still looks decisively favorable for Black.
