  Chessical: <26...Qxd3!> 27.Rxd3 cxd3 28.f3 d2 is an alternative and amusing finish.
Oct-22-05  Gypsy: <14...f5?!> The redeaming feature of this move is that it does not turn quite as bad as it looks. But White now goes up a pawn.

<19...Bf6!?> Duras is beginnig to fight back from the hole.

<20.Qd5?!> An energetic move. But right here White loses his advantage. After the pedestrian 20.Bxf6 Nxf6 21.Rd2 Ne4 22.Rc2 Rd8, it is not clear if Black has enough activity for being a pawn down.

<22...Qd2> Black now threatens Nc3 and Nxf2; eg, 23.Qc4 Nxf2 24.Nxc4 Qxe3 ...

<25...c4!> The game is decided; 26.Rxd2 cxb3 27.Rd1 bxa2(or Nc5) nets also the knight Nd3.

<26...Qe2> This move is calculated for 27.Re1 cxd3 28.Rxe2 dxc3. <Chessical>'s finnish 26...Qxd3 is no less resolute or devastating.

<29...c3> White knight is as helpless as they come. Since 30.Nxc3 Nxc3 is his best play, White resigned.

  Honza Cervenka: 19.Ne5 would have been much stronger. After 19...Qxb2 20.Rf1 Nd6 21.Qd5 c4 22.Rxe7 Rxe7 23.Qxd6 Rfe8 24.Nxc4 Qxa2 25.Rc1 white has decisive advantage.

If 23.Qc4 Nxf2, then 24.Rc2! and black is in troubles. 23...Rd8 is better.

  Honza Cervenka: 24.Qf7! was the only move, which would have kept white in the game.
