Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-19-10  Ulhumbrus: One justification for the advance ...d5 on the part of Black at move 18 or later is that it discovers an attack from Black's KB upon the b4 pawn, in return for a pawn sacrificed.

In the position after 30 Nh4, one White potential threat is Qc3 followed by Nh4-f3-e5-g4-f6. Sutovsky will manages to create this threat and win.

After Black has played his Q to d5, White manages to unpin his N on f3 for the manoeuvre Nf3-e5 by playing the manoeuvre Re5 and forcing Black's Q off the long diagonal.

An alternative to 30...Qd7 is 30...Rad8 followed by ...Rfe8 not permitting White's N to come to e5.

Oct-19-10  Riverbeast: I really like Sutvosky's chess style, there's something very clean and direct about it

He's definitely an underrated and talented player, who belongs in the 2700 club...Maybe he made it after the Olympiad?
