May-01-06		euripides: After 22...Be4 23 Re2 looks natural, but Black seems to have the resource 23...Qg5 24 f3 Bxf3, exploiting the overloaded queen e.g. 25 Rxf3 Rxf3 26 h4 Qe3+. 23 f3 is also possible when 23...Qb6+ or 23...d5 look interesting. After 23 Bd5 the game always looks drawish.

May-14-06		jperr75108: 23... Qg5 hangs the bishop to 24. Rxe4.

May-14-06		jperr75108: After your line where white plays 23. Re2, of course.
