Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-20-13  lolchair: Awesome result for the 14 year old Sebastian.
Feb-20-13  goodevans: Mihajlov was giving away 650 rating points. Although that's somewhat distorted by his age, the draw was still an amazing feat.

It was also the only draw on any of the top 28 boards in round 1.

Feb-21-13  Steve.Patzer: Someone made a convincing argument that the move 33. Rc8+ would have won for white.
May-28-18  Count Wedgemore: <Steve.Patzer> Yes, 33.Rc8+ is clearly winning, because the follow-up 34.Qxb7+ is a killer.

Black has to reply to 33.Rc8+ with 34...Kxc8 (if not, it's mate in 1), and White has an overwhelming position. Nevertheless, Black is also in big trouble after 33.Rcxd6, even if he can take White's queen with 33...Rxf3. So that should also be good for White, even though 33.Rc8+ is clearly the best move in the position.
