  OneArmedScissor: Nice finish.
Jun-24-07  jellyace: Wouldn't 31. Rxg5+! finish faster?

(a) 31. ... Kf8 32. Rg8#
(b) 31. ... Kh7 32. Qf5#
(c) 31. ... hxg5 32. Qh5 and Black is helpless against Qh8#

Did I miss anything?

Now black could have tried 31...Qc4! 32.Bf4+ Kh8 33.h3 Rg8.

  Holden: The lines with 6. Nbd2 have more style than the normal 6.Be2.
