Jan-24-12  Penguincw: After 30.Qh2, it looks like white had a dangerous attack. It wasn't enough to win however.
Jan-24-12  Marmot PFL: Find the win white missed on move 25.

<25.Rxc7>, I presume? 25...Qxc7 26.Qg5 Rg6 27.Qxg6 Qc1+, and Black soon runs out of helpful checks.

White just plays <26.Rxc8>. Same ideas as after 25...Qxc7, only with an extra piece.

There's a funny switch-back variation: <26.Rxc8 Qe7 27.Rc7 Qd8 28.Rd7!>.

  notyetagm: and should have lost immediately had Gashimov spotted the relatively simple 25.Rxc7!
