  FSR: IM Mark Ginsburg observes that White could have held with 25.f3! Bxf3 26.Rd7.

  tpstar: Black to Play and Win after 25. Re2.

Interesting fight.

Apr-19-18  Marmot PFL: Computer isn't impressed at all with this game as white makes some dubious moves starting with 17 Bxc6 and black keeps a bigger edge by not trading queens.

  FSR: Another comment by Ginsburg: <Playing a Stonewall and then promptly giving up the center with d5xc4? would have been massacred by any of [Alekhine, Petrosian, Kasparov, Karpov]>
Apr-20-18  thegoodanarchist: <FSR> Then after 26. Rxd1 is 26...Nxc3 the killer move? I don't see anything better

  FSR: <thegoodanarchist> Right - that was Akobian's idea.
