  Chnebelgrind: Houdini on chessbomb evaluates the position after 38...Qb6 with <5.22> and gives this continuation: 39. Bxc3 Ne7. What happens after 39. Bxc3 Nxc3?
Apr-25-13  Nerwal: <What happens after 39. Bxc3 Nxc3?> 40. g6 like in the game, except black doesn't have the move ♘f6 to defend his king.
Apr-29-13  Everett: Well, Adams can't be too upset with his missed win vs Aronian after this one.
