Sep-15-02  bishop: If 23.c5! is met by ...Nxc5 then 24.Nxc5 Qxc5 25.Qf3+ followed by 26.Rf1 and white wins.

  ToTheDeath: 23. c5! the pawn can be taken 4 different ways, none of them good.

b4! finishes nicely.

May-02-17  zydeco: I'd prefer 15....exf5 16.exf5 Nge5 or maybe even 15...Nge5 immediately (16.fxe6 fxe6 17.c5 dxc5 18.Qxe6+ Kh8 19.Rxf8 Nxf8).

15...Bg5 overestimates white's kingside play.
