TigerPawns: 33.. Bc8 seems pretty bad, I think 33 ... Rc7 is much more stubborn. Or even better the slightly refined 33 ... Rc1+ Kh2 34 Rc7. Perhaps black can even hold? |

TigerPawns: 56..g4 does look strange... what happens after Ra5+, I wonder? |

TigerPawns: wow. i played exactly the same game move for move on freechess.org! i had the black pieces and had never seen the a4-a5 idea before. my opponent was GMRainer who I suppose knew this drawing idea. there's nothing new under the sun! |

TigerPawns: 39. g5 was no good. white would have kept rolling along after 39. Nxg2 |

Sep-20-08 G Garcia Gonzalez vs Quinteros, 1982 
|
TigerPawns: I think the real star move of this game has been overlooked! It's 45. Kf1!, which threatens Nc5 by preventing Bg1. For example this is a nice line: 45.Kf1! Bg3 46.Nc5
I believe other moves only draw. For example
45.Nf2? ... |

|
TigerPawns: strange tal didn't play 16. Qh5+, which finishes things without the need for mind bending calculations. |

|
TigerPawns: <veryrusty> after 16. Nxa8 then 16... e4! leads to being able to sac the rf8 for the essential defending nf3 |

|
TigerPawns: at first i thought white just played badly bud with a little help from crafty i can now see that most of the strategically odd moves he made have unfortunate tactical reasons behind them... |
