Jul-31-17  rainingpieces: 18...Bc4 19.Bxc4 Qd6 might be too much for White to handle? 20.Be2 Rxe4 would win for Black, but I suppose rook would be taking on e4 soon enough anyway, which is beautiful.
Jul-31-17  ChessHigherCat: <raining pieces> Jobava must have taken his Underdog Super-Energy Pills, he's like the reincarnation of Tal in that game!

18. ...Bc4 19. Bxc4 Qd6 20. Be2 Rxe4 21. Qxe4 (21. Qf3 Qd1#) Qxg3+ 22. Kf1 Qf2#

There's a more complicated line that wins the queen for black but I think I'm probably missing a mate: 18. Be2 Bc4 19. Bxc4 Qd6 20. Be2 Rxe4 21. Bf4 Rxe2+ 22. Kxe2 Qd3+ 23. Ke1 Re8+ 24. Be3 Rxe3+ 25. Kf2 Rxg3+ 26. Ke1 Rxg4

  Keyser Soze: <chc> crazy slugfest. Jobava is throwing <some> gems on this tournament.
Aug-21-17  talwnbe4: 19. Bxc4 Qd6 20. Ke2 +-2.0

19. Bxc4 Qc6 20. Be6+ = (black threatens Rxe4)

  perfidious: Never played 2....Nf6 in my life, so had to turn to Opening Explorer, and was surprised to see that Black's fifth was a TN and has not been repeated in this DB.

Very much a hammer and tongs affair, with matters taking a more interesting turn than after the conventional 5....Qe7.
