  saffuna: Did So think he had a winning attack with 27...Nf4, sacrificing a knight, or was it just a last-ditch attack?
Sep-04-21  siggemannen: Interesting queen shuffle in the opening. Perhaps 15...Bg6 is a bit safer

  0ZeR0: It's hard to believe that the innocuous 16...Rxe1+ loses the game. 16...Ne4 was absolutely necessary despite it losing a pawn.

  saffuna: Yikes, you are right! The bishop on a3 attacks d6 and covers Re7 for the rook to enter.
Sep-12-21  KernelChikn: @saffuna Hoping for something like 30. ...Qd7 31. Rf1?? Qxg4+ with mate to follow. It's blitz.
Sep-12-21  KernelChikn: Stockfish played 5. ... Nf6 vs. Igel recently and scored the full point after sacing a P (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKw...). GM Shirov tried 7. ...Nc5 (Morozevich vs Shirov, 2000) and got a quick but active draw.
Sep-12-21  KernelChikn: ...in Grischuk vs Caruana, 2018 Black tried 14. ...Bxf3 with the same result.
