Sep-27-05  gidguy2000: Doesn't white have the win here with 18. Bxg7? It follows: 18...Bxg7 19.Rg3 with an unstoppable mating threat. Right?
Sep-27-05  Sequoia: 18. Bxg7 Bxg7; 19. Rg3 f5... but 18. Rg3 seems better.

Sep-27-05  aw1988: To 18. Rg3 Black has 18...Rc4 (counterattack!) 19. f4 Rfc8 20. Bxg7 h5!, winning.

  Domdaniel: <islero> "El Laberinto Siciliano" sounds more like Borges than Polugayevsky - <... dos reyes y >... "The Two Kings and the Two Labyrinths" was a Borges story. Very appropriate.

Not right, because Black plays 19...f5 and the queen comes into play controling the f7 square.
