May-24-05		Sneaky: Is this a wrong score, or an example of the biggest blunder? White resigns, but he has checkmate in hand with 24.Bxd6+

May-24-05		aw1988: Most likely a time win if you look at the final position!

May-25-05		crafty: 23...a7 24. c7+ xc7 25. c6+ b7 26. a6+ xa6 27. xc7+ b7 28. xa5+ bxa5 29. b5+ c8 30. e8+ b7 31. a8+ b6 32. a6# (eval Mat09; depth 9 ply; 10M nodes)

May-25-05		aw1988: But he played Kb8.

May-25-05		chessgames.com: We know, we were just curious if 23...Ka7 would actually be a winning move in this wild position. Apparently not.

May-25-05		hintza: Oh, I thought <crafty> was going off on one again!

May-25-05		nasmichael: Time management is important, after all....a good fight on both sides until the last moment.

May-26-05		Bobak Zahmat: It is really a shame that white has lost this game, just look at the position.

May-26-05		PARACONT1: it was a bigger shame that Morozevich lost to Ippolito once too, but at least then Ippo managed to win a long endgame, and through his own ability!

Jun-04-05		millert: It seems likely that 23. ... Ka7 was played when White cannot avoid being mated. the additional two moves may be a computer glitch based on postgame analysis. Just a theory.

Jun-04-05		halcyonteam: 23. cxd8=N+ Kb8 24. Bxd6+ Ka7 25. Rc7+ Ka8 26. Qc6+ Kb8 27. Qb7# White mates 1-0 White is actually winning here,why resign?

May-12-06		OrlandoRocha: The white lost in time?

Jul-12-08		Trigonometrist: A cuter variation.. 24... Ka8 25.Rc8+ Ka7 26.Nc6+ Kb7 27.Ba6+ Kxa6 28.Nc7+ Kb7 29.Rb8# A beautiful finale.. Pity it wasn't played.. 0-1
