  HeMateMe: Two sacked pieces! But, Motylev's combination on the h file became motley, as Kjarkan had calculated the refutation.

You are right Birthday Boy, and I stated this on my blog about the game (bright minds think alike :))

Apr-08-10  mortigi tempo: Beautiful attack (who can say that they set up a mating net with 2 bishops, pawns, and the king in the middle game?). Cool headed defense by Karjakin. He calmly takes out two pawns and creates space on e5 before sliding his rook onto e5 square. Pretty amazing how he nullifies white's g6 threat by activating a rook that he hasn't touched all game (move 41). I wonder at what point in the game did he see this line and realize white was slowly building up a mating attack?
Apr-08-10  Hesam7: Any improvements for White?

The move 26.Rxh6 was assigned the bad move symbol (?) when my Deep Rybka 3 analyzed this game for my blog. Better is 26.Rc1 or 26.Rb1

37.Bc2 was also given a ? by Deep Rybka 3 in its analysis. Better is 37.Bh6.
