Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-12-10  KERESOV: GM "Ratmanov" tries to mislead the young GM Wesley So into a rare sideline of the Sicilian Defence but unfortunately for him it backfires after our Pinoy prodigy found all the happy moves in this entertaining battle. On move 26 Black is essentially forced to give up the Queen as 26... Kc8 27. Rd1 is decisive with the Black King caught in a crossfire. The final position with the Black rook trapped on h7 is pretty indeed ...
