Breunor: 25 Rxf6 ch was screaming to be played. First 3 moves seems to me to be pretty easy to see. |

|
Breunor: In checking with the computer, it seems like white had no advantage but was close to even until 23 Nh4; it appears gxh5 was best. After that computer scores white as close to -2. |

|
Breunor: Soltis' shows this game in his column. White erred with 15 Nb3, Ne4! Wins. 15 Ne4, if Nxe4 then 16 Rxd8 check and 17 Nxf7 check. Soltis' says 16 .. Be4 may be the losing move instead d of the simple O-O. Soltis' claims black is lost after 18 Qc2. If Nf6 19 Nxe6! Fxe6 20 Qg6ch Kf7 21 |

|
Breunor: Computer had white slightly behind until the blunder of 22 Bg5? Then white is lost after Ne4. 23 Rc1 or c4 appear to be best. |

|
Breunor: For me the hardest part was trying to figure out why 33Qxf8 is even but 33 Rxf5 and then 34 Qxf8 is a fairly large advantage? The reason appears to be that if Rxf5 first, white has 37 Kg4, which isn’t available if he plays 33 Qxf8. |

|
Breunor: White's 16th move is the puzzle in Soltis' column Interesting game, a huge upset! White did everything we are taught not to do - wing attack, king in the center, never developed the King bishop! I looked for where black went wrong. The computer has the game as even until 12 Qa5?, ... |
