| Runemaster: The last five moves are particularly nice. 30...Ra6 must have been an enjoyable move to make. |

| Shams: yes, very nice. tpstar, you should annotate this for us. white may have had better chances with 30.Bf6 Qb1+ 31.Kh2 Rg8 32.Qxd5, for example 32...Bg6 33.Qd4 Qe4 34.Qb2 or some such. |

| Runemaster: <Shams> I think the trouble with 30.Bf6 is 30...Qc1+ 31.Kh2 Qf4+ winning the rook on c7. |

| gambeteer: Obviously 20. Rxc7 is a bad move. White would have done much better playing b3, followed by something like Qe3 after black's queen taking the a-pawn and make the most of the bad positioning of the black lady. Still have to analyse though |

| tpstar: <ramdaz> 32. Kh2 Qe5+ & 33 ... Qxc7 and Black stands better. Thank you all very much for reviewing my game. This was an exciting finish from the Pan-Ams = the annual college team championship. He totally missed the point of 30 ... Ra6! until too late. |
