  HeMateMe: white wins with a tactical shot on move 32.
May-15-11  Gilmoy: 31..Ne6 consolidates: defends g7 (so that after 32.Nxf6+ Bxf6 33.exf6 Black doesn't have to waste a tempo on 33..g6, hence White just hung his Bc3), cuts Qc8, and blockades e6.

<wordfunph: 35.Nxe8> But White sacked an exchange, so just getting his exchange back isn't anything. Look deeper: 35..Qxe8 36.Qxc5+ collects the Nd4.

May-16-11  hedgeh0g: A very unusual tactic. The queen on g4 allows the knight to get into place on f6 with check, followed by a sudden switch to the back rank. 32? would make a good Tuesday/Wednesday puzzle.

  tpstar: Navara has a very entertaining style, and I hope he can take his game up to the next level.

Here's another beautiful win = Navara vs A Dergatschova Daus, 2007

May-19-11  Skakalec: <wordfunph> 35...Qxe8 36.Qxc5+ and 37.Qxd4 White is a piece up.
May-23-11  Bleepbloop1: actually, @Skakalec gilmoy and wordfunph, I think the line goes more like 33.nf6+ kf8 34.qc8+ re8 35.qxc5+ re7 36.qc8+ re8 37.bb4+ with mate in two.
