Aug-10-06  skakmiv: Indeed, very nice combination by Vaganian!

When he played 19.Nc6!, I couldn't see what the problem was... until I realised that he was threatning Se7+, my rook on d8 and my bishop on f6!

Anyway, it was an experience to play against a grandmaster like Vaganian, who has faced Kasparov!

Looking back, I see that I should've played ...c5 at some point to get counterplay in the center. Any comments?

Illescas-Cordoba vs S Fedorchuk, 2005

Of course 8... 0-0 looks pretty sound too. Your troubles came later than that! :)
