  luzhin: A brutal conclusion of the sort in which we would more normally expect Shirov to be on the attacking side: after 33...Kxh7 white checks on h3 and g3, picking up the Rook on b8.
Jun-05-09   itsankush: This is so peculiar about Shirov. He plays masterly in one tournament and then looses everything in the next.
Aug-01-09   kurtrichards: No chance for Shirov to set the board on fire.
