  plang: 12..e5 had been played in Beliavsky-Tukmakov BLED 2001 (Black won) 12..Qb6!? was new. Black would have had compensation for the pawn after 16 dxe..dxe 17 Bxe6..Nc5. 17..Bxf5 18 Qe2+..Kd8 19 dxc..bxc 20 Rf1..Bg6 21 Bxf7 would have been strong for White. 19 Kf1?! led to a strong initiative for Black; 19 Ne2 would have offered better defensive chances. 29..Qxa6? threw away the win; better was 29..Ka7 30 Nxf4..Qf2+ 31 Kh3..Re3 32 Qf7+ (32 Qxe3..Nxe3 would be better but also strong for Black) 32..Kxa6 33 Qc4+..Kb7 34 Rag1..Be1! winning.
