  perfidious: Nimzowitsch's 30....Bxh3 is an elegant exploitation of the superior activity of his pieces. Facing the threat of 33....Qxe3 34.Qxe3 Rxf1+ 35.Kh2 Ng4+ winning, White avoids that pitfall only to lose to another variant of the same idea.

  kingscrusher: White seems to have missed a major dynamic opportunity and instead played a very anti-positional move giving up the e5 square

A case of e5 instead of d5:
20.e5 is much better than 20.d5
