  Honza Cervenka: 19...Nxe5 with next 20...Qc3 is a pretty little combo based on weak back rank.
Dec-04-10  4tmac: The first game of this match was the same opening as this third game. Look at the position after white's 19th. Very "clean" crisp ...NxP wins a pawn in this very controlled game. Here is the position from game 1 after white's 19th...

Chaos: very different outcomes, from small changes in initial conditions.

Jul-23-16  zydeco: So the opening goes disastrously for Sokolov, but on first sight his moves certainly look reasonable. Maybe 17.Rd1 is an improvement.

  perfidious: Yusupov annotated this game in one of Dvoretsky's works. Always enjoyed the elegant and far from obvious exploitation of this tactical theme.

How about 38.Rxe6? It looks good, but ...Kg7 defends and White is still lost.
