Dec-28-06  Sularus: Seeing that 34. f4 is a clearing move (sac-ing the g-pawn in the process), i wonder if

34. ... hxg4 is fatal for black.

Dec-28-06  Sularus: or to be precise, where the EARLIEST point of no return is for black exactly (if it can be determined).
Sep-21-12  wildrookie: Nigel fell short in this game, didn't he?

  Dionysius1: Hi <Sularus>. After 10...Nxc5 it's going to be hard for black to avoid sacrificing the exchange to get rid of any N that camps on the permanently weak square at d6. Maybe that's where the weakness set in, and against Kasparov, that might mean that's where the earliest point of no return is! Mind you, Short really did mix it, didn't he? A real street fight this!
Sep-21-12  Jason Frost: 42...Qa1+ looks like the decisive mistake. 42...Qd4+! and white can't escape the checks (42...Qd4+ 43. Kg2 Qd5+ 44. Qe4 Qd2+ 45. Qe2 Qd5+ ...)
