Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-13-05  patzer2: McNab plays a strong game against Georgiev, but misses a simple defensive move that would have given him equality and drawing chances.

Instead of 22...Nb6? which forces the loss of the exchange, without advantage, I think Black should have played 22...Rb8! Play might have continued 23.Qc6 Bb7 24.Qe6 (24.Qa4 Nd6 25.Nxg4 Nxe4 26.Ndxf6 Nexf6 27.Nxf6 Bxf6 28.Rxd7 Qe8±) 24...Nb6 25.Nxb6 Qxb6 26.Qxg4 Nd6 27.Rab1 Qc7 28.Nf1 Rfd8=, with about even counterchances.

Feb-13-05  patzer2: While the discovered attack 24. Nc7! wins the exchange, and eventually the game, the simple recapture 24. Qxc4! may have been just about as effective:

After 24.Qxc4! Nd6 25.Qe2 Qd7 26.Rab1 Qf7 27.Rbc1 Rb8 28.Nxg4 Bxg4 29.Qxg4 f5 30.exf5 Qxf5 31.Ne3 Qxg4 32.Nxg4 Ne4 33.Bxe5 Bxe5 34.Nxe5 , White's two extra pawns should be enough to win.
