Nov-22-12  okba1: was black better here some where'and what was his blunder?
Nov-22-12  nikiml: 34...Rg6 left blacks queen trapped.
Nov-22-12  galdur: He had to play 34...Rg5 when the position is unclear, black perhaps better.
Nov-22-12  shivasuri4: <nikiml>, 34...Rg6 left Black's king, rather than her Queen, trapped as shown after a possible 36...Kh7 37.Re3, forcing Black to give away her Queen to stave off an immediate mate.
Nov-22-12  parmetd: 30... Bd4 is better than Rg7 after which black is
Nov-22-12  galdur: Very tricky, easy to blow with seconds left on the clock.

  HeMateMe: Black certainly looked better. Exciting tactics from Moro.
Nov-22-12  messachess: <shivasuri4: <nikiml>, 34...Rg6 left Black's king, rather than her Queen, trapped as shown after a possible 36...Kh7 37.Re3, forcing Black to give away her Queen to stave off an immediate mate.>

That is the finish, isn't it. Or, 36..Rf7 37. Rf8 38.Re8+. which is worse, if that is possible. Nothing white can do. Gata was apparently going for some clever positional play to produce attacking chances. Attacking chances were produced!

Nov-22-12  messachess: Or, he just had to do something after a bad result from the opening.

Nov-26-12  nnnnnnnn: I think 32....h2 was very strong (rather than offering the exchange of Queens).
