Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-19-21  Gypsy: <66.Bxc4> Forced, since after <66.bxc4 Rh8>, white K is in a mating net. Now, however, <66.Bxc4 Kxe4> and White fortress quickly crumbles.
Jul-19-21  Ulhumbrus: 7 Nxc6 strengthens Black's centre

When a commentator suggested that Tari needed to advance his king side pawns Tari indicated that he needed to play the pawn advance f4.

After 43 gxf5 the computer indicates that the winning method - if, as in the game White allows it - is to place the Black king on d4 and then to offer the pawn sacrifice 65...c4!

Then if White plays Bxc4 his e pawn falls and its advance will cost him a piece, as GM Loek Van Wely indicated in the commentary box.

If White plays 66 bxc4 Black gains a winning mating attack by 66...Rh8! and White has no satisfactory answer to the threat of 67...Rb8+ 68 Ka1 Bc3+ mate

The computer suggests that White's defence is not simple but is based on the pawn sacrifice c3 but in a position where Black can't take advantage of it - eg with Black's king on d4 - to win White's a2 pawn by the attack ...R-a1

Jul-19-21  Gypsy: <78.Rxe4+...> At my level, this could be a clever little trap in a time scramble. My knee-jerk response <78... Kxe4??> would fail to a stale-mate.
Jul-19-21  strobane: I dare say 75... Kxe4 is a blunder

During the live game I saw the old trick,
69...Be3!
Then 70.Rxe3+ Kd2 wins the rook.
