Jan-13-05  notyetagm: 35 ♗xd5+!! Wow! This Vaganian can really play some chess. Check out this game from almost 30 years ago, Reshevsky vs Vaganian, 1976, especially 16 ... ♗h4+!! and 17 ... ♖xf3!.

  Benzol: Black probably expected to win the ending with his extra pawn. 35.♗xd5+ must have come as a very nasty suprise.
Jul-13-14  SpiritedReposte: Way to think laterally from Rafael.
