Sep-25-08  Ramjet: fan tastic game by the Young Chinese!
Apr-21-09  Whitehat1963: Was there perhaps a better response to 17...Bg4? Was that the crucial error?
Apr-21-09  ounos: 31. ...Rf8 really confuses me. I would play 31. ...Re4 quite quickly, not sure why Rf8 would be better, seems so passible. But then, Chao would know better. Hmm.

  HeMateMe: thanks, I was lost after Calc I.
Sep-17-15  Llera: I wonder why White didn't play 28.f4. I answer myself: Maybe it is refuted with 28...Qd1+ and 29...Qd6. Maybe it is worth to investigate this.
Sep-17-15  catlover: <Whitehat> I wondered the same thing. Stockfish seems to think that a better continuation would be 18. Nxe5 Bxd1, 19. Rxd1 Rb8, 20. Nc4 Ncd7, 21. Nxa4 Nxa4 22. Qxa4. Jakovenko would have had the piece plus two pawns for his rook and what seems to be a freer position.
Sep-17-15  kevin86: White is doomed...down the exchange and a pawn.
Sep-17-15  hwphillips: Llera-28f4 Rd3 29 Qb2 (Qal loses to Ral+)29...Qa1+30 Kh2 or Bf1 Rb3 drives the queen off of the pinning squares and the e5 knight can then capture the rook on c4 leaving him up the double exchange.
Sep-17-15  dfcx: Stockfish thinks 34.Qa5 was a major error. White would be even with 34.Rxa4 Rxe4 35.Rxe4 Qxe4 36.Ne3
