  Honza Cervenka: A bit premature decision to accept draw offer from Hort's part. After 36...Qb7! 37.Bc2 f6! 38.Re1 (38.Rxf6? Bh1) 38...e5 39.Rh4 Qb2 40.Be4 g5 or simple 40...Qxc3 white is facing very unpleasant pressure.
Aug-07-18  ZonszeinP: Perhaps 39-Rg4, instead of Rh4 (?)
Aug-07-18  ZonszeinP: Interesting that Hort won the next game anyway
Aug-07-18  Howard: Even more "interesting" was the bizarre occurrence in Game 15 !!!!

  Honza Cervenka: <Howard: Even more "interesting" was the bizarre occurrence in Game 15 !!!!> It is well known incident. In fact, I was the first to comment that game on this site long time ago....
Aug-08-18  Granny O Doul: I'm guessing Hort did not see the trick with ...f6 and ...Bh1.
Aug-08-18  WorstPlayerEver: 36...Qb7 37. Bc2 f6 38. Re1 e5 39. Rh4 Qb2 40. Be4 g5 41. Rg4 Qxc3 42. Rf1 h5 43. Rxg5+ fxg5 44. Bxc6 Qd4 45. Qxd4 Rxd4 46. Bd5+ Kg7

Pretty sure it's a draw.

Aug-13-18  ZonszeinP: I suspect that black is better here.

Wouldn't be surprised if they could even play Rd8xd5

Aug-13-18  ZonszeinP: At some point
Aug-20-18  edubueno: Error fue 23 Cc3?? en cambio con 23c4! +1.18 (19 ply) 23.c4 Nf6 24.h4 Qh5 25.Qd3 h6 26.Qc3 Qg4 27.Bc2 Qh3 28.b3 Rbc8 29.Nxf6 exf6 30.Be4 Bd7 31.Nh2 Re8 32.c5 bxc5 33.dxc5 Nc7 34.Qxa5 Re5 35.Qc3 Nd5 36.Bxd5 Rxd5
