Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-11-06   kavalerov: 29. ... Nc2!! starts a slick forced combination that wins Black a valuable pawn and the endgame. 30. Ra2 (protecting the a-pawn) Nd4 31. Rxd2 Nf3+ 32. Kf2 Nxd2 33. Na4 (preventing Black's N a comfortable escape back to the center via c5) Nxb3 34. Ke3 Kc7 35. Kd3 Kd6 36. Kc3 Nc5 37. Nb2?! (Nxc5 Kxc5 and Black's endgame is simple, but...) Ne4 just adds insult to injury.
Jun-11-06   CapablancaFan: Wow! 29...Nc2! was a deep move leading to the forced loss of a pawn by white in almost all variations. Good play by the former world champion.
