Apr-26-11  wordfunph: deep 15...Rxe3 sac by Tiviakov, blowing up white's pawn formation!

And now 39.c5?!, Razuvaev plays a desperate sac to somewhat liberate his game. But was he playing for a win or a draw? In the game black's knight was strong on d6, but if white had just sat on things perhaps black would have just brought the knight to c5, slowly improving his game before the inevitable f-pawn break.

Jan-15-15  Chessdreamer: Tiviakov himself considered this to be the best game he ever played [New In Chess 7/2005].
