  Honza Cervenka: Quite tragic game for white who outplayed his opponent (winner of the tournament) in great style but by several inaccuracies in very sharp position he lost all advantage and allowed black to turn the table, then after an inaccurate move of black he suddenly got a chance to return into the game but instead of simple 40.Rxh7+ Qxh7 41.Qxf3 he made a blunder 40.Qf7??, which reminds Reshevsky's 40.Qxg6+?? from Reshevsky vs Savon, 1973.

  Honza Cervenka: 32.Rd6! with idea 32...Bxa2 33.Rdd7 would have won easily. Also 34.Rd1 Qc6 35.Rdd7 Bb1 36.Rxh7+ Nxh7 37.Rxh7+ Kg8 38.Qxb1 was sufficient.

On the other hand 38...Qe4 with possibilities like 39.Qh6 Ng4 40.Qh5 Bc4 41.Rd1 Ne5 with Nf3+ as already deadly threat, which is not stopped by 42.Re7 Nf3+ 43.Kh1 Qxe7 44.Qxf3 due to 44...Be2, or 39.Re7 Bd5 40.f3 Qc2 41.Re8 Bc6 42.Rxg8+ Kxg8 43.Rf2 Qd1+ 44.Rf1 Qe2 45.Rf2 Qe1+ 46.Kg2 Nxf3 -+ could seal the fate white in more convincing and less hurting way.
