Sep-16-04  patzer2: Interesting to find a GM still playing 4. Ng5 as White in the Two-Knights. Despite the draw result, the game is well played and hard fought by both sides.
Sep-16-04  bunti: it was played well until white missed a win on the 56th move when Kd5 was played instead of Kd7.
Sep-18-04  patzer2: <bunti> Does 56. Kd7 really make any difference? I played it out with Fritz 8 and came up with 56. Kd7 Ra8 57. c7 f4 58. Rb8 Ra7 59. Kd6 Rxc7 60. Kxc7 Ke3 = (0.00) for a draw.

  plang: 14..Bg4 was a new move; 14..c5, 14..Qc7 and 14..Ng4 had been played previously. 20..Qxd1? led to Black's knight being misplaced on b2; better would have been 20..Nxb2! 21 Qxd8+..Rxd8 22 Bf4..Rc5 23 Rab1..Nc4 with a small edge for Black. 23..Rxc3 24 Rg4..g6 25 Rb4..Rxc2 26 Rb7 would have been winning for White. 24..Rc4 25 Nxf6+..Kh8 26 Rd7..Rh4 27 Bg5 would also have been decisive. White missed 26 Rd6! which would have been very strong after 26..Re8 27 Nxf6+..Rxf6 28 Rxf6..Re2 29 Rf2..Re1+ 30 Kg2..Nd1 31 Rd2..Nc3 with a solid advantage for White. 38 Bd6! recognized that White's advantage would continue in the rook ending. Sutovsky thought that White could have won with 49 Rb5..Rc6 50 c5..a6 51 Rb3+..Kf2 52 Rc3..Ke2 53 Ke4.
