  Open Defence: Ivanchuk vs K Grigorian, 1986 is a duplicate of this one
Aug-14-06  Isolated Pawn: Nice ending. Black to play on move 38 would make a nice puzzle.
Mar-13-07  argishti: poor guy, he won this game 3 years before he commited suicide...such a shame...
Dec-28-15  zanzibar: The correct version of the duplicates is this one, the tournament being held in Pinsk, Belarus 1986 - apparently a preliminary to the Soviet Ch.

<IP> Indeed, a very nice (and difficult) visualization puzzle. One Grigorian had no problem navigating.

Dec-28-15  zanzibar: The puzzle position:

(Black to move after 38.Qe6xf7)

3q4 /1R3Q1p/3p2pk/2pP1P2/2Nb1P2/7K/2r4P/8 b - - 0 38

Backtracking, White's went wrong with a mistake at move 33, playing 33.f2-f4:

(White to move after 32...Bd4-e5)

Maybe better is 33.Qe3, maintaining the K-side better. It should draw.
