<Armenian Championship (2007) >

#1: <1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nf3 b6 4 g3 Bb7> Nimzovich's 4...Ba6 is more popular now. <5 Bg2 Be7 6 0-0 0-0 7 d5!?> As 7 Nc3 Ne4 scores well for Black. <7...exd5 8 Nh4 c6 9 cxd5 Nxd5 10 Nf5> White has fair compensation for the pawn. <10...Nc7 11 e4 d5 12 Re1 Bf6> Another path begins 12...dxe4 13 Nc3 Bf6 14 Nxe4. <13 e5 Bc8!> An important resource, as 13...Be7 14 Qg4 Ne6 permits 15 Bh6 Bg5 16 Nxg7! Nxg7 17 Bxg5, clearly favoring White. <14 exf6 Bxf5 15 fxg7 Re8 16 Rxe8+ Nxe8 17 Nc3 Nd7 18 Nxd5?> Correct is 18 b4, with about even chances. <18...cxd5 19 Qxd5 Ne5!> The refutation. <20 Qxa8> Not 20 Qxe5? because of 20...Qd1+ 21 Bf1 Bd3. <20...Qd1+ 21 Bf1 Bd7!> <Threatening 22...Bc6 and 23...Qf3.> <22 Bf4 Nf3+ 23 Kg2 Ne1+ 24 Kg1 Qxa1 25 Qe4> Trying to pick off Black's trapped Knight with 26 Bd2. <25...Qd1 26 Be2> After 26 Qe7 Nf3+ 27 Kg2 Nxg7, the tricky variations 28 Bd6 Bh3+! 29 Kxh3 Qxf1+ 30 Kg4 Nxh2+ and 28 Be2 Qg1+! 29 Kxf3 Qh1+ 30 Ke3 Nf5+ win for Black. <26...Nf3+ 27 Kg2 Qg1+ 28 Kxf3 Bc6!, 0-1.> Next 29 Qxc6 Qh1+ skewers White's King and Queen.

<Gibraltar Masters (2007) >

#2: <1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nf3 b6 4 g3 Ba6 5 Qc2 Bb7 6 Bg2 c5 7 d5> A well-known pawn sacrifice. Black has fewer problems after 7 dxc5. <7...exd5 8 cxd5 Nxd5!?> Most games have continued 8...Bxd5 9 Nc3 Bc6 10 e4. Spraggett's choice discourages 9 e4? because of 9...Nb4 10 Qe2 Ba6. <9 Qb3 Nc7 10 Ne5 d5 11 Nc3 Bd6> Sharpest, although 11...Be7 12 Bf4 0-0 13 0-0-0 should be investigated too. <12 Nxf7!> Do or die! The obvious 12 Qa4+?! Kf8 13 Bf4 lets Black take charge with 13...Qe7 14 Nd3 Bc6 and soon ...d5-d4. <12...Kxf7 13 Nxd5 Kf8> Prudent. The alternative 13...Ne6 14 Nf4 Bxf4 15 Bxb7 Bxc1 16 Rxc1 Nd7 17 Rd1 gives White pressure on the d-file. <14 Bg5!?> Ambitiously rejecting repetition by 14 Qf3+ Kg8 15 Qb3 Kf8 16 Qf3+. <14...Qd7> Avoiding 14...Qxg5?? 15 Nxc7 Bxg2 16 Ne6+. <15 0-0-0> The computer claims that Black can secure an advantage by 15...Nb5 16 e3 c4! 17 Qxc4 Na6, intending ...Ra8-c8 and possibly ...Qd7-f5. Maybe so, but the chess gods will reward White's bold play. <15...Nc6?> Another "safe" defense, 15...Bc6?, loses beautifully to 16 Nxc7 Qxc7 (or 16...Bxg2 17 Ne6+ Ke8 18 Rxd6! Qxd6 19 Rd1) 17 Rxd6! Qxd6 18 Rd1. For example, 18...Qc7 19 Bf4 Qc8 is punished by 20 Bd6+ Ke8 21 Qe3+ Kf7 22 Qe7+ Kg6 23 Be5. <16 Qf3+ Ke8> Both 16...Kg8 17 Nxc7 Qxc7 18 Qd5+ and 16...Qf7 17 Qxf7+ Kxf7 18 Nxc7 Bxc7 19 Rd7+ recover the sacrificed piece. <17 Qe4+ Ne6> If 17...Kf8, White reaches a position in the game by 18 Nxc7 Qxc7 19 Qf5+ Ke8 20 Qe6+. More complicated is 17...Be5 18 Nf6+! gxf6 19 Rxd7 Kxd7 20 Qf5+, when Black must yield a piece by 20...Ke7 21 Bxc6 Bxc6 22 Qxe5+ or 20...Ne6 21 Bxc6+ Bxc6 22 Rd1+ Bd4 23 Bxf6 Rhf8 24 e3. <18 Nc7+! Qxc7> White refutes 18...Bxc7 19 Rxd7 Kxd7 20 Rd1+ Ned4 efficiently by 21 Bh3+ Kd6 22 Qe6 mate. <19 Qxe6+ Be7> Also hopeless is 19...Ne7 20 Rxd6! Bxg2 21 Rhd1. <20 Bxc6+, 1-0.> Black gives up a little early, but 20...Bxc6 21 Bxe7 Bd7 22 Qe3 Kf7 23 Bd6 would produce only pain.

<Moscow Open (2007) >

#3: <1 d4 c5 2 d5 g6 3 c4 Bg7 4 Nc3 Bxc3+ 5 bxc3 f5> Black hopes to control e4, then attack the c-pawns. <6 e4!?> Another sharp response begins 6 h4 Nf6 7 h5 Nxh5 8 Rxh5 gxh5 9 e4. <6...fxe4 7 f3 Qa5 8 Qc2 exf3?!> Falling dangerously behind in development. Sturdier is 8 ... Nf6 9 fxe4 d6 10 Bd3 Nbd7 11 Nf3 Ng4. <9 Nxf3 Nf6 10 Bd3 d6 11 0-0 Bg4 12 Ng5!> Eye-ing e6 and h7. Black's opening has failed. <12...Nbd7 13 h3 Bf5 14 Bxf5 gxf5 15 Ne6> Also attractive is 15 Rxf5 Ne5 16 Rb1. <15...Nf8 16 Ng7+ Kd8 17 Nxf5> Taking aim at e7 while threatening 18 Nxd6. <17...N8d7 18 Bg5 Rf8> Plausible, but White launches a ruthless King hunt. <9 Rae1 Rf7 20 Rxe7! Rxe7 21 Nxe7 Kxe7 22 Qxh7+ Kd8 23 Rxf6!> As 23 ... Nxf6 permits 24 Bxf6+ Kc8 25 Qg8+ Kc7 26 Qxa8, soon mating. <23...Kc7 24 Rxd6! Kxd6> Black lasts no longer by declining with 24 ... Qa4 25 Bf4. <25 Bf4+ Ne5 26 Qg6+ Kd7 27 Qe6+ Kd8 28 Bg5+ Kc7 29 Qxe5+ Kd7 30 Qe6+ Kc7 31 d6+ Kb6 32 d7+ Kc7 33 Bf4+, 1-0.>

<Cappelle Open (2007) >

#4: <1 d4 Nf6 2 Nf3 e6 3 c4 b6 4 g3 Ba6 5 b3 b5!?> Less tested than 5…Bb4+ 6 Bd2 Be7. <6 cxb5 Bxb5 7 Bg2 Bc6> Fighting for d5 and e4. Occasionally Black tries 7…d5, 7…c5 8 0-0 Bc6 or 7…Bb4+ 8 Bd2 a5. <8 0-0 Qc8 9 Bg5 Ne4 10 Bf4> Threatening 11 Ne5. <10…d6 11 Qd3 Qb7 12 Rc1 Nd7? > Correct is 12…Bd5 13 Nc3 Nxc3 14 Qxc3 Na6, with only a tiny disadvantage. <13 Rxc6!> Removing Black's best piece. <13…Qxc6 14 Ng5 f5> Forced, as 14…d5 15 Nxe4 dxe4 16 Bxe4 skewers the Queen and Rook. <15 Nxe6> Black's tiny material plus won't save him. He trails in development, cannot hide his King and must reckon with the threat of 16 Nxc7+! Qxc7 17 Bxe4. <15…Rc8 16 d5 Qb6> After 16…Qb7 17 Nc3 Nxc3 18 Qxc3 Nf6 19 Qe3, Black's King is too exposed. A cute possibility is 19…Kd7 20 Nd4! Re8 21 Qe6+! Rxe6 22 dxe6+, regaining material. <17 Bxe4> Now White refutes 17…fxe4 18 Qxe4 Nf6 by 19 Nxg7+ Kf7 20 Qe6+ Kxg7 21 Qxc8. <17…Ne5 18 Bxe5 fxe4 19 Qxe4 dxe5 20 Nd2 c6 21 Rc1> Every piece works. <21…Bb4 22 Qxe5!> An easy mating finish. <22…Bxd2 23 Nc5+ Kf8> Or 23…Kd8 24 Qd6+. <24 Nd7+, 1-0>

<European Championship (2007) >

#5: <1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bb5 a6 4 Ba4 Nf6 5 Qe2> A sideline of the Ruy Lopez, instead of the customary 5 0-0. <5…b5 6 Bb3 Be7 7 c3> Attempting to advance d2-d4 before castling. Black has few problems after 7 0-0 0-0 8 c3 d5. <7…0-0 8 d4 exd4> More interesting than the solid 8 ... d6. <9 e5 Ne8?!> Sharper is 9 ... Re8! 10 0-0 Bf8 11 cxd4 d6, as 12 Ng5 (maybe 12 Qc2 improves) Nxd4 13 Bxf7+ Kh8 14 Qd3 dxe5 15 Bxe8 Qxe8 is satisfactory for Black. <10 cxd4 d5 11 Nc3 Bg4> Inviting 12 Bxd5 Nxd4, but White secures an advantage by defending d4. <12 Be3 Bb4 13 0-0 Ne7 14 h3 Bh5> Consistent, but White's initiative grows. <15 g4 Bg6 16 Nh4 c6 17 f4 f5> Necessary. If 17 ... Bxc3, hoping to rescue the Bishop by 18 bxc3 Be4, White inserts 18 Nxg6. <18 exf6 Nxf6 19 f5 Bf7 20 g5 Ne4> After 20 ... Ne8 21 Bc2 Qc7 (not 21 ... Nd6? 22 g6) 22 Qg4, it's unlikely that Black can fend off threats of f5-f6 and g5-g6. <21 g6! hxg6?> Black must cede a bit of material by 21 ... Ng3 22 gxf7+ Rxf7 23 Qg4 Nxf1. <22 Nxe4 dxe4 23 fxg6 Bxb3> Did Black expect 24 axb3?? Qd6, when 25 Qh5? Qg3+ saves him? <24 Qh5!, 1-0.> After 24 ... Rf6 25 axb3 Qd5 26 Bg5, Black cannot keep the f-file closed.

#6: <1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 a6 6 Be2 e5 7 Nb3 Be7 8 0-0 0-0 9 Kh1 b6> Prudent, as both 9…b5 10 a4 b4 11 Nd5 and 9…Be6 10 f4 Qc7 11 f5 Bc4 12 g4 score well for White. <10 Be3 Bb7 11 f3 b5!?> Stronger than 9…b5 because 11 f3 has weakened e3. <12 a4 b4 13 Nd5 Nxd5 14 exd5> Welcoming 14….a5 15 c4. <14…Bg5!> The prelude to a fierce tactical battle where Black frequently relies on occupying e3. <15 Bxg5 Qxg5 16 a5 Nd7 17 Ra4 Nf6 18 Bc4> White drops material after 18 Rxb4? Nxd5! 19 Rxb7? Ne3 or 19 Rg4 Qh6. <18…Qh4! 19 Rxb4> Also 19 g4 h5 20 Rxb4 Rab8 gives Black sufficient counter-play. <19…Nxd5 20 g3> Or 20 Rxb7 Qxc4, when Black threatens to trap the Rook by 21…Qc6. <20…Qh3 21 Rxb7 Ne3 22 Qe2 Nxc4> Black foresees 23 Qxc4?? Rac8 24 Qe2 Rxc2! 25 Qxc2 Qxf1#. <23 Rd1 Nxb2!?> Risky. The simpler 23…Rfc8 24 Kg1 Qe6 25 c3 Rab8 guarantees Black a substantial advantage. <24 Rxd6 Rac8 25 Kg1?> Natural, but Black's attack should win quickly. The strange 25 Rb4!, plotting the gain of the Knight by 25…Rxc2?? 26 Rd2, would force 25…Rfd8 26 Rxd8+ Rxd8 27 Nd2 h6 (threatening 28…Rxd2) 28 Kg1 Qd7 29 Nf1, with only a small edge to Black. <25…Nc4 26 Rxa6 Rfd8 27 Raa7> Nor will 27 Qf1 Qf5 save White. <27…Ne3!> That square again! <28 Rc7> Black refutes 28 Rxf7 by 28…Rd1+ 29 Kf2 Qxh2+ 30 Kxe3 Rc3+. <28…Rd1+?!> Clearest is 28…Rxc7 29 Rxc7 f5!, leaving White helpless against 30…Rd1+ 31 Kf2 Qxh2+ 32 Kxe3 f4+, winning the Queen. <29 Kf2 Rcd8 30 Kxe3 Qh6+ 31 f4> Both 31 Ke4? R1d4+ and 31 Kf2? Qxh2+ 32 Ke3 Qg1+ 33 Ke4 R8d4+ lead to mate. <31…exf4+ 32 Kf3> Avoiding 32 gxf4 Qh3+ 33 Kf2 Rh1. <32…fxg3 33 Qxd1> Karjakin continually finds the toughest defense, but he cannot alter his fate. <33…Qh5+> Also 33…Qf6+ 34 Kxg3 Rxd1 should win. <34 Kxg3 Qxd1 35 Rxf7 Qg1+> A long series of checks will enable Black to gain two Rooks for his Queen. <36 Kh3 Qe3+ 37 Kg2 Qe4+ 38 Kg3 Qe5+ 39 Kg2 Qe2+ 40 Kg3 Qe3+ 41 Kg2 Qe4+ 42 Kg3 Qg6+ 43 Kf4 Qd6+ 44 Kg4 Qe6+ 45 Kg3> Or 45 Kf4 Qc4+! 46 Kg3 Qxf7, as in the game. <45…Qxf7 46 Rxf7 Kxf7> Clarity, at last. White cannot hang on to his pawns. <47 Kf4> If 47 a6, Black picks off the pawn by 47…Ra8 48 Nc5 Ke7 49 Kf4 Kd6. <47…Rc8 48 Nd4 Rc5 49 a6 Ra5 50 c4 Rxa6 51 c5 Ra5 52 c6 Rc5 53 h4 g6 54 Nf3> The waiting defense 54 Ke4 Ke7 55 Kf4 Kd6 56 Ke4 loses to 56…Rh5. <54…Rc4+!> Welcoming 55 Ke5 Rxc6 and 55 Kg5 Kg7 56 Ne5 h6#. <55 Ke3 Kf6 56 Nd4 Ke5 57 Nf3+ Kd6 58 h5 gxh5 59 Ng5 Rxc6 60 Kf4> Or 60 Nxh7 Ke5 61 Ng5 Rc3+ 62 Kf2 Kf4, winning routinely. <61…Rc4+ 61 Kf5 h4 62 Nh3 Kd5 63 Kg5 Ke5 64 Kh5 Kf5 65 Ng5 h6> As 66 Kxh6 h3! 67 Nxh3 allows 67…Rh4+. <66 Nh3 Ke4!, 0-1> Black will trap the Knight by 67 Kxh4 Kf3+ 68 Kh5 Kg2.

#7: <1 d4 d5 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 c6 4 e4!? dxe4 5 Nxe4 Bb4+ 6 Bd2> One of Frank Marshall's many gambits. <6…Qxd4 7 Bxb4 Qxe4+ 8 Be2 Na6> Alternatives include 8 ... Nd7 and 8 ... c5!? 9 Bxc5 Qxg2. <9 Bd6> Now 9 ... e5 10 Nf3 Bg4 is considered reliable for Black. <9…Qxg2?!> Probably too greedy, but very tricky! The 1994 book by Wells gives only 10 Qd2 Bd7? 11 0-0-0 0-0-0 12 c5, winning for White. <10 Qd2> Welcoming 10 ... Qxh1? 11 0-0-0, as Black cannot stand 11 ... Qe4 12 Be7! or 11 ... e5 12 Bxe5 f6 13 Bf3. <10…Ne7?!> Best appears 10 ... Nf6 10 Bf3 Qg6. <11 Bxe7 Kxe7 12 0-0-0 f6 13 Nf3 Qh3?> Losing the Queen. Black had to try 13 ... Qg6, although 14 Qd6+ Kf7 15 c5! sets up 16 Bxa6 bxa6 17 Qc7+. <14 Ng5! fxg5> Else 15 Qd6+ Ke8 16 Qd8 mate. <15 Qxg5+ Kf7 16 Bg4 Qxg4> Or 16 ... Qh6 17 Bh5+, and the Queen goes. <17 Qxg4 Rf8 18 Rhg1 g6 19 Qh4> White finishes efficiently. <19…Kg7 20 Rd8 Rf7 21 Rxg6+! Kxg6 22 Rg8+ Kf5 23 Rg5+ Kf6 24 Rh5+, 1-0.>

<Sigeman & Co (2007) >

#8: <1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 a6 6 Bg5> The most heavily analyzed answer to the Najdorf Sicilian. <6…e6 7 f4 b5!? 8 a3> Declining to enter the Polugaevsky variation 8 e5 dxe5 9 fxe5 Qc7. <Nbd7 9 Bd3 Bb7 10 Qe2 Be7?> Natural but wrong. Either 10…Qc7 or 10…Qb6 11 Nb3 Be7 maintains a satisfactory position. <11 e5 Ng8?> Black cannot afford this loss of time. Opening the f-file by 11…dxe5? 12 fxe5 also leads to trouble. For example, 12…Nd5 runs into 13 Nxe6! fxe6 14 Qh5+ Kf8 15 0-0+ N5f6 16 exf6, when material is equal but Black's King is not safe. However, the immediate 11…Nd5 improves, as 12 Nxe6!? fxe6 13 exd6 Bxg5 14 Qxe6+ Be7 15 Nxd5 Bxd5 16 Qxd5 Bf6 is far from clear. <12 Nf5!> Black could stand 12 exd6 Bxg5. <12…exf5> What else? Both 12…dxe5 13 Nd6+ and 12…Bxg5 13 Nxd6+ Kf8 14 fxg5 are awful for Black. <13 exd6 f6> Most alternatives are met by 14 0-0-0, except that 13…Kf8 drops a pawn to 14 dxe7+ Nxe7 15 Bxe7+ Qxe7 16 Qxe7+ Kxe7 17 Bxf5. <14 Bxf5!> White wants threats against the un-castled King. If 14 Bh4?!, Black could wriggle out by 14…Nc5 15 0-0-0 Kf7 16 dxe7 Qc7! 17 Rhf1 Nxe7. <14…Kf8> Acquiescing to a hopeless endgame. After 14…fxg5 15 0-0-0, Black's two extra pieces won't save him, as 15…Bc6 16 fxg5 Kf8 17 dxe7+ Nxe7 18 Rhf1 and 15…Nb6 16 Rhe1 Kf8 17 dxe7+ Qxe7 18 Qf2 Qc7 19 fxg5 leave Black helpless. <15 0-0-0 fxg5 16 dxe7+ Qxe7 17 Rxd7 Qxe2 18 Nxe2 Bxg2 19 Rg1 Ne7> Worse is 19…Bf3 20 Nd4. <20 Rxg2 Nxf5 21 Rxg5 g6 22 Ng3! > No blockade! <Nxg3 23 hxg3 Re8 24 Ra7 Re1+> A second pawn must go, as 24…Re6 25 Rc5 threatens the back rank. <25 Kd2 Re7 26 Rxa6 Kg7 27 Rd6 Rhe8 28 Kc3 Re2 29 Kb3 R8e3+ 30 Rd3 Rxd3+ 31 cxd3 Re3 32 Kc3 h6 33 Kd2!, Black Resigns.> White anticipates 33…Rf3 34 Ke2, exchanging Rooks.

#9: <1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 a6 6 Bg5 e6 7 f4 b5!?> Hermansson's third venture with the Polugaevsky variation. <8 e5 dxe5 9 fxe5 Qc7 10 exf6> Another branch begins 10 Qe2 Nfd7 11 0-0-0. <10…Qe5+ 11 Be2 Qxg5 12 0-0 Ra7> Polugaevsky once recommended 12…Qe5. <13 Qd3 Rd7 14 Ne4 Qe5 15 Nf3> Welcoming 15…Rxd3 16 Nxe5 Rd4, as 17 fxg7 Bxg7 18 Nxf7 0-0 19 Nfg5 h6 20 c3 gains a pawn. <15…Qxb2 16 Qe3 Bb7 17 Rab1> Usually White inserts 17 a4 b4 before chasing the Queen. Then, as Leko demonstrated, 18 Rab1 Qxc2 19 Nfg5 Qc7? loses beautifully to 20 Rxb4! Bxe4 21 Nxe4 Bxb4 22 fxg7 Rg8 23 Nf6+ Kd8 24 Nxg8 Bc5 25 Nf6 Bxe3+ 26 Kh1. <17…Qxc2 18 Nfg5 g6?> Black has no time for this or for 18…h6? 19 Rbc1 Qxa2 20 Nxf7! Rxf7 21 fxg7 Rxg7 22 Bh5+, mating. But 18…Qc7 seems playable. <19 Rbc1 Qa4> To parry 20 Qa7 with 20…Qd4+. Black cannot stand 19…Qxa2 20 Qa7 Nc6 21 Rxc6 Bxc6 22 Qb8+ Rd8 23 Qc7 Bc5+ (it's mate after 23…Bd7 24 Nd6+ Bxd6 25 Qxd6) 24 Nxc5 0-0 25 Nxf7! Qxe2 26 Nh6+. <20 Nxe6!> Devastating. <20…fxe6> If 20…Ba3, one method is 21 Ng7+ Kf8 22 Nd6. <21 f7+! Kd8> Nor does 21…Rxf7 escape, because 22 Nd6+! Bxd6 23 Qxe6+ anticipates 23…Re7 24 Rc8+ and 23…Be7 24 Qxf7+ Kd8 25 Rfd1+ Nd7 26 Qe6 b4 27 Qb6+ Ke8 28 Qxb7. <22 Qg5+ Re7 23 Qe5, 1-0.> The finish could be 23…Nc6 24 Rxc6 Bxc6 25 Qb8+ Kd7 26 Nf6 mate.

<Leko - Kramnik Rapid Match (2007) >

#10: <1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bb5 a6 4 Ba4 Nf6 5 d3> In all four games as White, Leko played a quiet form of the Ruy Lopez with d2-d3. <5…b5 6 Bb3 Bc5 7 0-0 d6 8 c3 h6 9 a4 Rb8 10 d4> Better late than never! Kramnik needed only a draw to clinch the match, so Leko had to become aggressive. <10…Bb6 11 Na3 0-0 12 axb5 axb5 13 Nxb5 Bg4 14 Be3 d5!?> Another lively choice is 14 ... exd4 15 cxd4 Nxe4 16 Bd5 Qe8, parrying 17 Qc2 by 17 ... Bxf3 18 gxf3 (not 18 Bxc6 Qe6 19 gxf3 Qg6+ 20 Kh1? Ng3+) Nb4 19 Qxe4 Qxb5. <15 exd5 Nxd5 16 h3 Bh5 17 g4 Bg6 18 Na3> Perhaps 18 Bc4 exd4 19 cxd4 keeps an edge. <18…exd4 19 cxd4 Be4> Now Black recovers the pawn, while White's Kingside remains vulnerable. <20 Bc2 Bxf3 21 Qxf3 Nxd4 22 Bxd4 Bxd4 23 Rad1 c5 24 Nb5!? The last chance to worry Black. <24…Rxb5! 25 Qd3 g6 26 Qxb5 Nf4> Black has more than enough for the exchange. <27 Qc6> Not 27 Qb3?? Qa8 28 Qg3 Ne2+. Also 27 Kh2?! Qh4 28 Qb3 Be5 is very uncomfortable for White. <27…Nxh3+ 28 Kg2 Nf4+ 29 Kf3> Worse is 29 Kg1? Qg5 30 Qf3 f5, and Black's attack should win. <29…Ne6, ½-½.> Black stands much better, but is satisfied to draw.
