Dec-23-06  ivanov90: 20.Qe3!! (not 20.Rf4?)
Dec-01-09  psmith: <ivanov90>
Can you explain how 20. Qe3 wins?

In the game, White seems to be holding until 28.Rd7. 28. R7f2 seems better.

Dec-01-09  psmith: I begin to see....

20. Qe3 actually seems to be very strong. But analysis is needed to validate this idea.

Dec-02-09  psmith: well, I don't see a win for White after 20. Qe3 Rd8. I found lines like 21. Bxe4 Qe5 22. Rbe1 Be6 23. Qf2 Qg7 with compensation for a pawn, but no in my line of vision.

Black could now play 20...Ne6. White would play 21. Qxe4 ΔRxf7!+-. So 21...Qg5 22. Qf3!

White's position looks too strong!

White is a pawn down but he has a big attack.

  Retireborn: <offramp> Your analysis of 20.Qe3 looks convincing, which begs the question of where Black has gone wrong.

Presumably it would be safer not to play moves like ...Qxc3 and ...g6, although I'm struggling to suggest better alternatives.

Perhaps earlier 7...d6 8.Bg5 f6 9.Be3 Ne5 would be a more solid set-up for Black.

Treybal could possibly still have drawn with 31.a4, according to Houdini, whereas 31.Rxb7 allowing the pawn to reach d2 seems to definitely lose.

  Honza Cervenka: 31.Rxd4 Rxa2 32.Rd5 should be sufficient to save the game. 31.a4 was also playable.
