Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-17-09  autobezerk: 37.Nf6+ wins!
Mar-17-09  percyblakeney: <37.Nf6+ wins!>

True, engines confirm that it's mate in fifteenish something.

Mar-17-09  nhat8121: She must have been really low in time b/c it's not a really hard move to find...you don't have to calculate 15 moves to see it's trouble for black if 37.Nf6+
Mar-17-09  percyblakeney: Chessbase also missed 37. Nf6+ in their annotations of the game:

Mar-17-09  Ladolcevita: <37.Nf6+>I just had the feeling that there is some chance to mate,and I thought Yifan would help me figure it out.... Anyway,its such a pity for Yifan...

the next game against Sebag would be a bit tough and perilous.

Mar-17-09  kurtrichards: Time trouble again was the reason for the move 40. Kh2 (a bad move) when she could have push the d pawn to d7. Yifan v. Sebag and Koneru v. Zhao the next round.
Mar-23-09  ex0duz: What's the finish after 37.Nf6+ ?
Mar-23-09  itsankush: <ex0duz> 37.Nf6+ Kh8 38.Rh5 h6 39.Qd3 g6 40.Rxh6+ Kg7 41.Rh7+ Kf8 42.Qd4 Bc3 43.Nd7+ Ke7 44.Qe4+ Kd8 45.Nxb8 Kc8 46.Rxf7 Qc7 47.Rf8+ Kb7 48.d6+ Ka7 49.dxc7 Rc5 50.c8Q Rxc8 51.Rxc8 ....
