  Honza Cervenka: This is a copy of Chigorin vs Tarrasch, 1907 with a different order of moves 25-27.
Mar-03-05  RookFile: Well, I tell you what. This
game has a very modern look to
it. It's not so different than
some of the games played in Fischer
versus Spassky in 1992!
May-01-19  zydeco: 27.Rf3 is the problem. Better 27.Ref1 and then white can interpose with the queen on f3.

  Volcach: Instructive moments for me:

<28 Qxc6!> I would've automoved Nxc6, Even seeing that the knight is not hanging because of Rg1# the pawn looking at the f6 fork was too terrifying to calculate allowing. But bolt from the blue Rg3!! would be the response. Sweaty stuff. With absolute control of the g file, the queen belongs on the long diagonal.

<29 Rg4!> I worry I would've autoplayed f6 to stop white from playing it himself, but this stops Black's Queen from being able to swing back to g6 in some lines. It seems that the Knight's desired pathway is f5-h4 before scooping up the exchange on f3 with lurking Rg1 to either checkmate or deflect and win the Queen
