  Honza Cervenka: 39...Bc5 is a blunder, but black's position was already very difficult.
Feb-24-04  ruylopez900: Why not 32. ♕xh6 from Karpov?
Feb-24-04  CapAnson: Because of 32... Rxe6 with a probable draw.
Nov-16-04  Dres1: wait a minute, why doesnt white play 23 Bxc5??
May-14-05  Greginctw: maybe the game was typed in wrong, but BXC5 definately wins the queen for nothing.
