Jan-25-11  crazybird: the kid missed a win in KID against Sasha.

36..♕xe6 or 38..♕xe6 would have nailed it.

Jan-25-11  dbquintillion: Exhibit #1045 that not all draws are boring.
Jan-25-11  Sularus: <crazybird>

If 36. ... Qxe6?

then 37. Qxf4+ wins, I think.

Jan-25-11  crazybird: If 38…♕xe6 39.♕xf4+ then ♔g6 40.♗e4+ ♔g7 41.♖c7+ ♗d7 with Black a piece up
Feb-13-11  ReikiMaster: <crazybird>'s reply applies to 36...Qxe6 as well - its the same position. That suggests shortage of time.
Oct-25-11  wordfunph: Grischuk - Giri

after 36...Be3?

"The problem with finding a win is that during the game nobody tells you that you have one...I would actually like one of the spectators to shout from the playing hall “there is a win!” but for some reason, nobody does that..."

- GM Anish Giri
