Sep-10-07		Maynard5: This is of course a rapid game, so the play is a bit less accurate than one might expect from players of this caliber. In the position after move 25, Shirov apparently overlooks the fact that Kramnik is threatening both the backward pawn on c7 and the pawn on e5, or possibly missed the fact that after 29. Nf3, Black cannot play 29. ... Qxc5? because of 30. Bxf7+, winning the queen.
