Sep-22-12		luzhin: 20...Rd3!? is an amazing rook sac: perhaps not the best move in the position but wonderfully creative.

Sep-22-12		Ezzy: click for larger view Adams played 31 Rg3 and missed a great chance for victory with 31 Rh4!

Sep-22-12		Marmot PFL: Adams doesn't seem to have much ambition against the better players anymore.

Sep-22-12		waustad: Alejandro Ramirez annotates this on chessbase: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...

Sep-22-12		Ezzy: <waustad: Alejandro Ramirez annotates this on chessbase:> He doesn't say anything about 31 Rh4!

Sep-23-12		luzhin: If 31.Rh4 wins then Mamadjarov's 30th was a mistake: he had to play 30...Bf2 (although White must still be better).
