Aug-26-08		aragorn69: Actually the most beautiful move (to my eyes at least) is 29.a5! It could make for a nice Tuesday or Wednesday puzzle.

Aug-29-08		Mateo: The difference of strengh between the 2 players tells since move 25. The all variation beginning with 26...Rxe4? was wrong for Agdestein. Black had to play 26...Rd7, although White has all the play.

Aug-31-08		ex0duz: <aragorn69: Actually the most beautiful move (to my eyes at least) is 29.a5!> I agree with your judgment. Whites play after 29.a5 and his subsequent follow up is just a pleasure to see unfold. Great technique and very instructive finish in my honest opinion. =)
