  keypusher: Check out the position after Black's 34th move -- you'll think you are seeing double.

  Honza Cervenka: I don't understand why white did not play simply 29.cxb3? 29.Bh6 is a blunder.
Mar-26-21  tigreton: Well, 29. cb3 is better, but Black could put some pressure with 29 ... d5.

  FSR: Strange game from two of the strongest players in the world. As everyone has noted, 29.Bh6?? is a risible blunder. Then we see Blackburne playing on a queen down.
