Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-29-12  King Death: Poor Foguelman must have been shocked by 15...bc but 15...Qc6+ 16.Nf3 looks like it's a little better for White. After 16.Na3 Ng6 and ...Nf4 gets a nice position with bishops on the open board. The only reason White was able to survive for very long was that he was able to get the queens off. Maybe White could've tried instead:

16.Na7+ Kb7 17.Be5 Qa7 (if 17...fe 18.Rf3 is unclear when White has some attack on the queen side) 18.Qa7+ Ka7 19. Bf4 (or 19.Bc7 Rd7 20.Ba5). This looks better for Black but the position after 16.Na3 just gave him an easy ride, it's something I'd hate to play against any good player. No real hope of counterplay.
