  Jonathan Sarfati: A very tough fight. Black made the early running, breaking through on the ♕-side and winning a ♙. ♗ut 25... returning the ♙ was too hasty. Black still had a slight initiative, but needed to play 45.. h5. Failure to do that allowed White to turn tehe tables with 42. ♘g4 with a sudden attack on the ♔-side. But White was happy with the draw, although he would have won with 49. ♕xf5+, where the ♕ both helps to support the h-♙ queening and cover the white ♔-side. White doesn't need to bother saving his ♘. Even later on, there were winning chances by taking the ♙f5 even without check.
