  whiteshark: I wonder where Kholmov missed the win?
The Rendgame was well played by Sokolsky.

  whiteshark: o.k., here is one suggestion
position after <28.Bxg4>:

<28...Qxg4 29.Rf2> only move against Qg2# <29...Qf5> avoiding 30.fxe5 <30.Nxe5 dxe5 31.Qc2 e4>

<32.Rg1 Rxd5 33.Rg5 Qf6 34.Rg3> the rook is not hanging, as 34.Rxd5 will be answered by 34...Qa1+. <34...Qe6>

Black is a pwan up, due to Ph3 White can only act passively. Black will strengthen his position further.
