Jul-30-05		flor: beautiful attacking game. Analysis from Fritz 8: Early on in the game, the computer comes up with this alternative for black: 15. ... axb3 16. axb3 Ra2 17. Bc3 Qg4 Qg4 defends the kingside and pins the knight. White's plan to Ng5-Qg4 has been stopped. 18. hxg6 hxg6 with about equal game, still according to Fritz.

Sep-16-13		computer chess guy: 25. Rd5 is quite a spectacular move, but it was better to play immediately 25.

Rd5, Houdini indicates Black actually had an escape via the move 26. .. Rd7!: click for larger view Taking the Rook is not good: Bxd7 Qxd7 and Black is at least temporarily safe and threatens the White Rook, Knight and Bishop.

Mar-25-18		Olavi: <Also after 25. Rd5, Houdini indicates Black actually had an escape via the move 26. .. Rd7!:> This was indicated by Polugaevsky in Grandmaster Performance. (27.Rf2!? or 27.Qg8+) 25.Rd5 he punctuates !!?? After 25.Be6 he gives 25...Qc5+ 26.Kh2 Bxf1, but gives the impression that black survives (not only mate-wise). Instead he recommends 25.Bxf6 Bxf6 26.Rd5. (The same a move earlier, 24.Bxf6)

Apr-03-22		kingscrusher: The fantastic guys at TCEC find a mate in 15 at move 25 : From "mrbdzz" : "Mate in 15 [+] [*] 25. Be6 Qc5+ 26. Kh1 Rxd1 27. Rxd1 Rb8 28. Bxf6 Bxe6 29. Qxg7+ Ke8 30.
