May-13-08  YouRang: Kamsky could have won this a lot sooner. He (black) had this position at move 32:

Kamsky played 32...Qd5, but the knockout blow would be to exploit white's bad bishop with 32...Qd2!

The bishop has nowhere to go. It might continue:

33.Nxc3 <deflect Q from c1 and makes Bxe4 feasible, but...> Qxc3 <now double attack on bishop AND rook (and taking the rook also gives check, so Bxe4 won't work)>

34.Rc1 <guards bishop, but short-sighted> Qb2 <now bishop is a goner>

Furthermore, what follows is Rxc2 and e3 (uncovering bishop attack) making a terrific attack on g2 as well as a promotion threat. Game over.
