Qxe8 Re2+) http://video.russiachess.org/browse..., from about 16:40:15 Btw, on move 18 Gelfand missed the winning shot ...Nxe4!

Nov-19-10		slomarko: ok thanks, i will report it.

Nov-19-10		Eyal: ...And I exaggerated about 18…Nxe4; it’s better than what Gelfand played, but should probably lead only to equality after 19.dxe4 Qxf3(!) 20.Rxf3 Nxf3+ 21.Kd1 Nxd2 22.Kxd2 dxc5+ 23.Kc2.
