Oct-21-12  jrofrano: For any of you who are interested, this game appears to be an antidote somewhat of Nakamura vs M Vachier-Lagrave, 2008. The key here is the sequence: 17.Ra7 18.Rc1 Bxd5 19.Qxd5 axb5 20.Bxb5 Ne7 etc... This game is highly critical to the theory of this line, and the sacrifice Nfxd5! which works rather nicely...

My interest from this game is generated by the fact that I played a similar game very recently and lost rather quickly.
