John Donaldson in "Chess Life" June 2006 enthusiastically assigned 21. Rf6!! ("Shades of Fischer vs Benko, 1963 !") with the primary winning line after 21 ... gxf6 22. gxf6 Qc7 23. g7 Rd8 24. Bf5 & 25. Bh7#. Yet Fritz prefers the straightforward 21. gf+ winning a piece since the Nb3 is lost and even favors Black after 21 ... Na6 [ ] because the Nb3 can be rescued. But 23 ... Na6? is a clear error since Black had to cover e6.
