  Ron: 28. ... Bxf2! is a sound sacrifice; White could have defended better, but would still be in a losing position
Nov-15-09  WhiteRook48: is 29 Kf1 better?

  al wazir: What was wrong with the simple 34...Ne3, threatening mate on c2 and d1?
Mar-09-19  Walter Glattke: On my board I just found 28.-Bxf2+ 29.Kxf2 Qc5+ 30.Kf1 Ng4 31.Qa7 Nxh2+ 32.Ke2 Qxa7 33.Rxa7, but no check because of Bc3.
Mar-09-19  Walter Glattke: In the match, black can play 31.-Qxc4+ 32.Kd1 Qd3+ 33.Bd2 Rb2 34.Qa5 Ne3+ 35.Ke1 Nxg2+ black wins.

  al wazir: After 34...Ne3 35. Qa4, black has 35...Qxg2. If now 36. Ra2, then 36...Qf1+ 37. Kd2 Nxc4+ 38. Kc2 Rb1 wins.

Mar-09-19  whiteshark: Zero points for me today, coz I missed the winning move <31...Rb6!!>. Instead I went for 31...Qxc4+ 32.Kd2 Rb3 33.Rc1 which leads to nowhere...
Mar-09-19  agb2002: Black has a bishop and a knight for the bishop pair.

White threatens fxe3.

Black can attack the white king and possibly the bishops with 28... Bxf2+ 29.Kxf2 (else drop a pawn) 29... Qc5+:

A) 30.Ke1 Qe3+ 31.Kd1 (31.Kf1 Ng4 and mate in two) 31... Qxc3, with an extra pawn and the threat Rb2, looks winning.

B) 30.Ke2 Ng4

B.1) 31.Kf3 Qf2+ (or 31... Qe3+ 32.Kg4 f5+ 33.Kh3(4) Qh6#) 32.Kxg4 (32.Ke4 Qe3#) 32... Qf5+ 33.Kh4 Qh5#.

B.2) 31.Rc1 Qe3+ 32.Kd1 (32.Kf1 Nxh2# or Qf2#) 32... Nf2+ 33.Kc2 Qd3#.

B.3) 31.Be1 Qe3+ 32.Kd1 Rb2 wins (33.Qa4 Nf2+ 34.Bxf2 Qd2#).

B.4) 31.Kd2 Qf2+ recovers the piece and keeps the attack.

B.5) 31.Kd3 Qe3+ 32.Kc2 Qe2+ looks similar to B.4.

B.6) 31.Qa7 Rb6, probably better than Qxc4+, and Black will resume the attack as sbove.

C) 30.Kf1 Qe3

C.1) 31.Qa7 Rb1+ 32.Rxb1 Qxa7 wins decisive material.

C.2) 31.Be1 Rb2 32.c5 Ng4 wins.

C.3) 31.Qa3 Ng4 and mate next.

D) 30.Kf3 e4+ 31.Ke2 (31.Kf4 Qf2+ and mate in three) 31... Ng4 looks similar to B except in the case of 32.Qa7 when 32... Rb6 loses to 33.Qa8+ and mate in two. However, Black has 32... Qxc4+

D.1) 33.Ke1 Qxc3+ looks winning.

D.2) 33.Kd2 Qd3+ 34.Kc(e)1 Qxc3+ looks winning.

D.3) 33.Kd1 Qd3+ 34.Bd2 Rb2 35.Qa5 Ne3+ 36.Ke1 (36.Kc1 Qc2#) 36... Nxg2+ wins.

score for Black +5.26 depth 37.

Notice that White doesn't take the Bishop on f2 as per the game. To do so would be very bad.

  Willber G: <al wazir: After 34...Ne3 35. Qa4, black has 35...Qxg2. If now 36. Ra2, then 36...Qf1+ 37. Kd2 Nxc4+ 38. Kc2 Rb1 wins.>

38...Qb1# is quicker. ;)

Mar-09-19  drollere: the moves up to 31. Qa7 seemed straghtforward, at least to me. but then i diverged with Qxc4+, not appreciating the importance of the dark diagonal for the continuation.
