Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-11-18  patzer2: After 10...Qc7 =, which improves over 10...dxc4 11. bxc4 ⩲ inBu Xiangzhi vs Zhihang Xu, 2017, Black is never really in any trouble against his higher rated and older opponent.
Jan-11-18  patzer2: Late in the game, perhaps under time pressure, White erred with 46. Qc3? allowing 46...Qf2 ∓ to -+ (-2.15 @ 30 ply, Stockfish 8). Instead, 46. Qh2! = (0.00 @ 30 ply, Stockfish 8) appears to be the only move to insure White's survival.

After a few other inaccuracies by White, Black actually missed a win by not playing 49...Ke7! -+ (-5.07 @ 30 ply, Stockfish 8).

Jan-11-18  patzer2: Instead of 50...Qd7+ 51. Ke5 ∓ (-1.21 @ 30 ply, Stockfish 8), Black would still have retained winning chances with the forcing line 50...Ne7! 51. Ke5 bxc5 52. Ne3 a4 -+ (-4.17 @ 29 ply, Stockfish 8).
