Mar-27-07  zluria: This is a really pretty game by Boris Gelfand
Mar-27-07  zluria: I imagine the finish is 26 ...Rf8 27. Rh7 Rf7 28. Qxf7#
Mar-27-07  luzhin: The game would probably continue 26..Rf8 27.Rh7 Bf6 28.Rh8+ and however Black takes the rook, Qh7 mate follows.

26...Nd7 (prevents Qd8+, etc.) 27. Qxd7 Rf8 28. Rh7 Bf6 29. Rh8+! Bxh8/Kxh8 29. Qh7#.

Radjabov never developed his queen's knight or queen's rook. Hard to play against a player of Gelfand's strength giving ♖+♘ odds. :-)
