  Phony Benoni: There is a score problem here. After <33.Nd5>:

The tournament bulletin gives <33...Qd6> instead of 33...Qd7 as we have here. This certainly looks right on the next move, when after 33...Qd7 34.Qf4 e5 35.Qxf6+ would be immediately crushing.

The reason for this typo probably comes later, after <38.Kg2>:

Now the bulletin gives <38...Q-N5> (38...Qg4), which is possible after 33...Qd7 but not 33...Qd6.

I'm inclined to think that 33...Qd6 is correct because the line 33...Qd7 34.Qf4 e5 35.Qxf6+ is so egregiously bad for Black. This would mean assuming that Black's 38th was actually something like 38...Qe6, or that a complete move is missing from the bulletin.

I'm not sure what to make of this.
