May-28-09		zanshin: I've always wondered how Spielman's sacrifices would fare under modern engine analysis. According to Rybka 3, the rook sac on f2 could have come earlier. Instead of <20...d4>, Spielman could have played <20...Rxf2> immediately. click for larger view [-6.06] d=15 20...Rxf2 (0:05.20) 46432kN A possible line is (20...Rxf2 21.Rb3 Ref8 22.Bg2 Rd2 23.Qe1 Nd3 24.Rxd3 Rxd3 25.g4 Qf4) He almost throws away the win with <20...d4>. Black's best defense might be to return the exchange.
