Jun-05-12		luzhin: 50.Nd2! puts both black's rooks en prise AND threatens Nc4 mate - not bad for one move.

Jun-06-12		rczcarvalho: But white could play Rd1 and then Rxc5, Kb6, Rc2, but black is lost anyway

Jun-06-12		rczcarvalho: Sorry. Black plays Rd1

Jun-06-12		luzhin: No,after 50...Rd1 simply 51.Bxg2. To repeat: 50.Nd2 puts BOTH rooks en prise.

Jun-26-15		ToTheDeath: This is a great game. Nigel Short played extremely well. Granda also put up a great fight. Two pieces attacking both rooks is a beautiful thing to see on your board.
