Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-02-03  John Doe: And Aseev was doing so well!

29...Rxc3

reminds me of Bowden's mate.
30. bxc3 Ba3+ 31. Kb1 Qb2#

Jan-10-04  ChessPraxis: Black forgot that White has threats, too.
Feb-24-07  Dr.Lecter: That was a rather simple threat Black overlooked.
Apr-28-07  sezori: This is a simple oversight nothing horrible, it's just I think personally that black got a little overaggressive with the Rxc3 but I then looked a little further at the Ba3+ and mate in 3 and clearly saw it was a mate threat if he'd taken back :) 1. bxc3 Ba3+ 2. Kb1 Rgb8+ 3. Ka1 Qb2#)
Nov-17-07  tyimfi: (or just 30. bxc3 Ba3+ 31. Kb1 Qb2#)
Apr-07-18  Xeroxx: Sneaky.

  MarcusBierce: Black had to follow up with:

1) -0.08 (25 ply) <30...Qxf2> 33.Qxe5+ Bf6 34.Rhf1 Bxe5 35.Rxf2 Rxe3 36.Rdf1 Kh6 37.Nxf7+ Kh5 38.Nxe5 Rxf2 39.Rxf2 Rxe5 40.Rf4 Ra5 41.Re4 e5 42.a3 g5 43.hxg5 Kxg5 44.Kc2 Kf6 45.Rc4 Kf5 46.Kd2 Ra6 47.Rh4 Rf6 48.Ke2

29..Rxc3+ is considered the best move in the position, per Stockfish
