  notyetagm: <DanRoss53> Nice analysis.

I love the main line with that nasty 47 Nxd6!, regaining the sacrificed rook and defending the undefended White e5-queen with the knight fork 47 ... Qxe5 48 Nf7+ Kg8 49 Nxe5. Lahno must have missed this idea because without it this winning line is not playable.

  notyetagm: Hard to believe that Lahno could end up losing this game but in the final position (shown below) her king is terribly exposed and will not survive the onslaught of the Black heavy pieces.
