Aug-11-12		luzhin: 25.Rc3!! is a fantastic continuation of the attack and completely decisive. After 27...Kf7 mate is forced, but if 27...Ke8 28.Qg7! is game over.

Aug-11-12		twinlark: Young Wei lives by the sword and dies by the sword. Interesting game, well finished by Shimanov.

Aug-12-12		rilkefan: 25.Rc3 is better than e.g. Rcd1 because black can make good use of the tempo (25...Bh3 26.gxh3 [or Qxh3] just loses to [...Qx gx] ...c3; though 26.Qxh7 Bxg2+ 27.Kxg2 and white's still winning).
