  Honza Cervenka: White is clearly better in the final position but I don't see any immediate win. Did black resign here or did he exceed the time?

  suenteus po 147: Shirov doesn't get to play Qf3 here as he usually does in this Kan setup. Maybe Ginsburg did some opening homework?

  Timeline: After 32.Be5, the attack against dark kingside dark squares look unstoppable.

  Adriano Saldanha: Its funny that after much thinking I thought the crushing move was 32.Be7. After 32 ...Rxd6 33.cxd6 there is no defence against 34.Qf6+ since the e5 square is protected. Than I saw `Timeline` kibitz and noticed that 32.Be5 does just the same!!!
