apexin: <csmath> 28.Kc3 in the last line you gave gives white the open d-file, he doesnt have to take that pawn. And, 25.f5 loses to Nxe5+
So if he needed to open the F-file,he should'have done it much earlier.

apexin: <kevin86> Indeed. This game is like a story of Walter's

23.f5! is a very good move and so is the follow-up 24.g4. It's very hard to ...

| |
|
apexin: It's an obvious move, but i liked 28.Qa5!; most players would find it easily, and i would have played intuitevely; White has a queenside majority and that's the way to win here.
Also 20...Qb6 looks very risky to me, but i wouln't want to defend passively with 20...Qf8. So it was ...

apexin: <Phony Benoni>
Funny story there.
Hehe, Black played like me after after 0,5 litre of bolshevik vodka.
Thats the best Russian discovery, accually. Maybe only the Lajka dog beats it.

apexin: This made me almost jump out of my chair;
23.Rxd7!! So it was control of the dark squares,and this crazy Rook sacrifice... WOW. 22.Bxh6 Kxg6 23.Qd2 (my original intention)
23...Qxe5 24.Qxh6+ Nh7 and black is alive and winning. <M.Hassan> Your idea is also good, 22.Rxg7 Kxg7 ...

apexin: Thanks, Phony Benoni. Of course i seen that movie, some 20 years ago, but didnt know about this misquotation at all. It's a good one, Capablanca, died some 4 months after the premiere, guess he liked a name very alike his, used in a film. Well, i if hes seen it. I would have liked ...
