ruinme: I don't understand this game at all.. White had two times to get a winning position (like when black played ...23. Nb6 and white never played Nf4, but instead, traded off his pieces/ and near the end, when black played ...29. Kf8 instead of f5! and now white can win with exf6, ...

ruinme: At the beginning black seemed so lost.. did black know what he was doing the whole time or just recover brilliantly?

ruinme: White completely had the advantage here.. except he blundered it away.

ruinme: This game deserves to be put in a book w/Shirov analyzing it. Shirov, where are you? Analyze this game and send it to me thru mail please. Thankyou.

ruinme: thanks for the clarity FSR, i was temporarily thrown off by whoever put down 22...Bxe3+ until I saw your better move 22...Qh2+. Alphastar, thanks for the bishop variation. When I saw this puzzle, the rook sac intuitively looked right, it was the move that called out to me. however,
