  tamar: Capturing 13...exd5 looks strange, but on the natural 13...cxd5 14 Rxe6 fxe6 15 Bxg6+ hxg6 16 Qxg6 mate!

The later combinations that occur echo this one.

Oct-04-06  Chess Carnival: Indeed very impressive effort by Navara, now #13 in the rating list.

<tamar> I found your line interesting, but I don't think that 14...fxe6 is really necessary, so mate could be avoided and I think maybe Black is even a bit better than in the 13...exd5 line.

My thought is after 14.Rxe6, why not 14...Nc5, notice that now the rook is being attacked and there is no more mate with the Bishop sac. Just my opinion ;)
