Jul-08-08		zluria: This is a beautiful win by Negi, who displayed a mature and enterprising style. The exchange sac 24. ... Rxd5 was very impressive.

Jul-11-12		wordfunph: GM Negi's thoughts on this game.. <Since I started playing I had been taught that ignoring development to grab pawns is greedy. But greediness needn't be bad. Against Mikhalevski's Catalan I kept the extra pawn with an early c6. Unable to remember the line, I realized that I had played an interesting novelty when he sank into a deep thought. In a complicated position he misjudged his second pawn sacrifice. Finally his time ran out, but so had his position.> Source: NIC Magazine 2008 06
