  plang: Game 2 of their 3rd round match in the World Championship tournament; game 1 had been drawn. Adams went on to win the tie-breaks and then defeat Svidler and Topalov before being eliminated by Anand in the semi-finals. In the draw Yermolinsky-Gulko 1998 USA Ch Black had played 16..Bh5; 16..Bh4 was new. With 21..f5 Black had achieved at least equality. 24 Rf1+..Kg9 25 Nf6+..Bxf6 26 Bxe6+..Kh8 27 Qxe4..Qs2! 28 Rc1..Qxg3 29 Qxb7..Qxh4 would have led to an unbalanced, unclear position. Adams could have tried the sharp alternative 26 hxg..Bc4 27 Qh3..Rd6! 28 Qg4 (28 Nxe4..Bxa2+ 29 Ka1..Qa5) ..Rg6 with an unclear position.
