  An Englishman: Good Evening: 22.Rdg1?? transforms a wild and unclear game into a loss. Pity--this could have become one of the all-time great brawls. Incidentally, this is the only game in the DB with 18...Be6.

Oct-02-25  vajeer: I selected 22...Bxd5 with plan to play 23...Rxg5 next. Looks like these two lines just transpose as white is forced to capture.
