  ganso: Seems like Short didn't stand a chance in this game. Where did he go wrong? Why did he refuse the exchange of Q on move 22? Finally exchanged a few moves later under less favorable circumstances.
Jul-20-07  Maroczy: Nice to see the young Polish fellow off to a good start.
Jul-20-07  kingsindian2006: looks like around move 40....Rc1 he goes for the win and a chance and pays for it..black wins an A pawn but white wins 2 pawns and moves the king from protecting the h passed pawn now...

  Mateo: <ganso> <Where did he go wrong?> 33...g5? seems to be the fatal mistake. After 34.h5!, White gets another target h6, an outpost for his Knight (f5) tying either the King, either the Knight to the defence of that pawn. It seems that the game cannot be saved.

<Why did he refuse the exchange of Q on move 22?> No idea. There was no reason to avoid the exchange.

<Finally exchanged a few moves later under less favorable circumstances.> Agreed.

  Mateo: <kingsindian2006: looks like around move 40....Rc1 he goes for the win> I don't think so. Short was lost and knew it. And Miton reached the time control, having all the time to think to a winning plan. It was a desperate attempt or he commited hara-kiri.

If Short waits, for instance with 40...Kh7, then White has winning plans like Rd2-c2 or Nf5 followed by Ke3-d4.
