  Honza Cervenka: 33.Rxd5 was a desperation. Black's position is superb. For example, if 33.Ne3, then 33...Bc7 34.Qc5 f4 with deadly attack.
May-21-08  azi: Nice example of a clean excellent tactical superiority - out playing of white by black. White seems to be losing his grip with 28.bf1 and 29. be2 (but what else?) And the white knight was talking backwards... I like both players styles, too
Nov-22-10  rapidcitychess: I like this game. The Sveshnikov is nice, very nice. The rolling center is probably black's key counter play.
