 | | whiteshark: 1 wonder where White went wrong. |

 | | tamar: 27 Qe1 might have been the point of no return. Perhaps it was time to shut down winning attempts and go for the drawish 27 Qg2 b3 28 Rb2 Qxa4 29 Nxb3 cxb3 30 Rxb3 and pawns are even, and the rook immune because of Ba2. Kamsky may have rejected this because he needed to win to get back into contention. |

 | | Tabanus: The two connected pawns at b4 and c4 was worth a piece. |

 | | tpstar: Beautiful game by Black, with excellent compensation for the piece, then the battery on the long diagonal led to fun tactics. White's pieces seemed stuck in passive mode all game. |

 | | Renton2006: I don't understand white's reply to 13. .. d4. Why not take the pawn on d4 or on e6? |

click for larger viewIt's very complicated, but Black will wind up with a good game after either move. First, after 14.cxd4, Black plays 14...Ndxe5, opening the d-file and threatening a fork on f3. If 15.fxe5 cxd4, Black also has the threat of ...Bb4 pinning the queen. White's best may be 16.Nfxd4 Nxd4 17.Bxd4 Bb4 18.Bxb6 Bxd2+ 19.Kf2 axb6, when Black's bishops and open lines for his rooks give him good chances. After 14.Bxe6+ Kh8, many of the same ideas come into play, with the additional problem for White that his bishop on e6 is prone to discovered attacks if either knight moves. It's an interesting position to explore in detail. I'm just scratching the surface to show some ideas, and that White's actual choice was a reasonable move. |

 | | Peligroso Patzer: Looking over this game again, I wondered whether White’s final saving chance might have been in this position (after 35. … Bc5):

… to give back the piece immediately and seek salvation in an OCB ending after <36.Kf1 Rxf3 37.Rxf3 Bxd4 38.Bxd4 Qxf3+ 39.Qxf3 Bxf3> producing this position (with White to move): 
click for larger viewThe position still seems to be lost for White, however; for example: <40.Kf2 Bd1 41.a5 Kf7 42.Ke3 Ke6 43.Bxg7 Kd5 44.Kd3 Bg4 45.Bh8 Bf5+ 46.Ke3 Kc4> yielding this position:

I'm guessing the two passers decide the game. |
