  fredthebear: 32...QxRf6 33.BxQf6 RxBf6 would have given up the queen for two pieces (8 points) and kept Black going for a while.

Better yet 31...c5! would have led to the removal of White's attacking DSB.

Feb-03-23  Casr: Say, I haven't checked it, but doesn't bxg5 works if 31...c5?

  Williebob: <Casr>, 32. Bxg5 isn't a legal move, but if you mean 32. Bxg7? then h5! would give Black an equal game.
Feb-03-23  Casr: Thanks, Williebob! Completely missed h5. And yes, I meant Bxg7! I was so exited there for a moment, but then it came that naughty cross from the left, let me mumbling and spilling my teeth. Thanks again!
