  Phony Benoni: You have to give Antoshin all the credit in the world for this last round win. A draw would have given Geller the Championship, but Antoshin just won't let it happen.
May-07-09  AnalyzeThis: In playing through this game, I thought that the position that Geller had after move 28 was definitely something that could be held for a draw.

Well, to hold such a position with a weak backward Pawn on c6 covering else isolated Pawn on d5, which is quite typical outcome of Exchange line of Queen's Gambit Declined with QS minority attack, is quite difficult and always very unpleasant task for defending side. Maybe black should have trade the Queens with idea 33...Qxb4 34.axb7 Rb8 35.Rxc6 Rxb7 but after 36.g4 (36.Rd6 a5 37.Rxd5 Ra7 is probably ok for black) white still has a better Rook ending.
