Dec-05-05   Eatman: Even without Shirov's blunder(time trouble for sure), black looks to be winning.

  notyetagm: Chess really makes me wonder some time. Shirov played 37 Rf3?? in this game and on the same day Magnus played 33 Be4??. If strong tactical players like Shirov and Carlsen can make 1000-level tactical errors, what hope is there for a patzer like me?
Dec-05-05   supertimchan: hmm... In this case you will be checkmated before you are allowed to play such tactical error.
