Aug-02-08		percyblakeney: Al-Modiahki has been a positive surprise in Sochi, here he could even have won with an innocent looking trap on move 36. White plans to take on e5 and Rd7 looks natural enough, just removing the rook from danger and defending a7. But then white will lose if he takes on e5: <36. ... Rd7 37. Rxe5 a6 38. Na3 Nc1+>: click for larger view Going to f1 with the king means immediate mate, e1 loses the rook, e3 and f3 loses the knight. In spite of some time trouble white would surely have seen what was going on though, and black's extra pawn can't be enough to win.
