Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-28-04  PinkPanther: It was lost already, but 35.Nf6?
Nov-28-04  radu stancu: After 35.Nf6+ Bxf6 white can take back the rook with 36.Rxe8, but that still leaves him a piece down... So yeah, still lost...
Nov-18-06  thegoodanarchist: Why not 34 Nd2!?, if you are going to keep playing? It is still a lost endgame, but not a surrender.
May-31-11  ahmadov: White just plays very strange moves at the end of the game... It was obvious that the game was lost even without last moves...
