| An Englishman: Good Morning: <yunis>, offhand, it appears that 28.Re6,Qxe6; 29.dxe6,Rxd3; 30.Rxd3,Re8; 31.Rd5,Rxe6; 32.Rxf5 swaps two sets of major pieces and leaves Black up an extra passed pawn. However, I can't see why White didn't play 20.Bxf4. One caution: I'm not using computer aid, so I could be missing something. |

| I3illieJoe: It's been many years...a lot of excellent players have appeared on the scene. As much as it hurts cuz I really like Gata, I think he will never reach that level that he once had.... |

| Kangaroo: If <20. Bxf4> then <20 ... Rh4> threatening <g6-g5> and Black stands better. Notice that after <20. Bxf4 Rh4 21. Bxd6 Rxe4> White remains a pawn behind. |

| Mateo: <yunis: 20.why not Bxf4?> <An Englishman I can't see why White didn't play 20.Bxf4.> Kamsky could have played 20. Bf4. After 20... Rh4 21. Bd6 Re4, like <Kangaroo> said. But I must add that it is not exact that <White remains a pawn behind>, because with 22. Bc7 White wins back the pawn. Black has only a small advantage in the ending. |

| Castle In The Sky: Kamsky's first blunder was on move 12.d5?? The isolated pawn and chasing the knight actually give black a tempo in attacking white's  on c4 and result in the loss of either the d pawn or the g pawn at black's option, black takes the g pawn (after 14. b5 whites  could either go to d3, losing the "g" pawn or e2, losing the "d" pawn. 37.xe1 is also a bad move as it results in the inevitable loss of white's queen, although at the time white was already down on material and possessed an inferior pawn structure. |
