  beenthere240: What a grotesque "attack" 14. h4? On the other hand, white certainly wasn't playing for a draw!
Dec-03-05  Inf: why didnt white take rook on move 38? what was wrong?
Dec-06-05  DanielBryant: I wonder if White realized too late that 19.Bxh6 fails to 19...gxh6 20. Qxh6 Qg7.
Dec-13-05  DreadPJ: 38. RxR Qh5+ 39. Kg1 Qxd1+ (40. Rf1 Qxd4 41. I have no idea)

  notyetagm: <DreadPJ> Yes, 37 ... Rxf2! is a very nice tactical shot by Sakaev which wins a critical second pawn, exploiting the exposed White h2-king and the undefended White d1-rook, which are both lined up with the h5-forking square.

Just like Reinfeld/Chernev wrote, there are always threats against undefended pieces.

37 ... Rxf2! 38 Rxf2 Qh5+ 39 Kg1 Qxd1+
