  Fusilli: Very complex game. Running it by the computer unveils multiple errors. For example, position after 29.Bxg7? (29.Qxe2 )

29...Nfg3! 30.fxg3 Qf5! 31.Re1 Qxh3+ 32.Kg1 Nxg3 and Black wins (rather spectacularly)

Black was still winning, though, until 32...Nf1+? (32...Nxh1 was -5!)

After 34.Qxf1, Qf4+ was equality, but Black blundered a piece instead.

One can safely guess time scramble.

  plang: This is the first game where the sharp 11..d4 has been played. 13..Qe7 has not been repeated; 13..is now standard. A very complicated battle.

…Nfg3 makes more sense pressuring h3 with the Be6. That being said the position is about as wild as they come, and any one of us who thinks we would play it better is probably delusional. Not often that white wins with a B interred on h1 like that.
