  HeMateMe: He had Alekseev by the Short hairs in this game...nice way of winning against a weak isolated pawn. The advantage is manifested in other areas as the game progresses, but the win began with the weak isolani.
Jun-19-10  kurtrichards: 21. Rxd5 ... Thunderbolt and lightning...very,very frightening...smashing Alekseev's position!
Jun-19-10  zanshin: <37...Ke4> seems to be the losing move because it allows Bb7, making Black's a-pawn vulnerable, while protecting his own a-pawn with Queening threat (Rybka 4 comparison):

  perfidious: Who comes up with the ECO codes here?
This is no QID, it's a Qc2 Nimzo by transposition- I played this line at least twice for White in the late 1990s.
Jul-05-10  Marmot PFL: Intense game all the way. <When there are no serious weaknesses the initiative in conjunction with the 2 bishops may still be decisive> Fine, BCE
Jul-14-10  Jafar219: L Dominguez vs E Alekseev, 2010

In both games white`s 21 move is sacrifice.
