Apr-18-10  King.Arthur.Brazil: Black e5 was father of all the confusion, and Qa3?? lose imediately. Maybe best was Kf8-e7 and if necessary, h6 or h5. The game was even, maybe also 28... Qxd2 or Qe7 was better the Qc5.

  NM JRousselle: What was the time control on this game?

It's very difficult to believe that Smyslov would lose this ending in such a fashion--even in a 5 minute game.

This game looks very suspect.
