Nov-16-09		luzhin: 21..Bf5!! is a devilishly powerful move in what at first sight is a drawish position.

Nov-16-09		returnoftheking: Yes, Bf5 is a beauty! Black seems to be winning, so does that mean that Rd1 or Bh6 was wrong? Or even b3, which looks rather ugly?

Nov-17-09		Calli: 21.Bxe4 is wrong because it puts the tactics in play. 21.Rc1 is safe because after 21...Nf3+ 22.Bxf3 exf3, the pawn can be captured later.

Nov-17-09		SetNoEscapeOn: And of course, if Rb4 to keep the bishop protected, Carlsen would have finished matters with a fourth straight move in your theme, a5.
