  al wazir: 29...Rbxe8 30. Bd5+ Re6 (even) or 30...Qxd5 (B has two rooks for a Q & P). 29...Rfxe8 30. Bd5+ Re6 or 30...Kf8. Where's the win? If 30. dxe8(Q) Rxe8 31. Bd5+ Kf8 32. Qh8+ Ke7 33. Qxh7+ Kd8 34. Qxa2, W has a B and 3 pawns for a R. Is that a win?

  fredthebear: A sudden pawn storm! After 18.bxc4, White has three connected passed pawns for the sacrificed knight. Black has two knights on the rim, and no center. Surprising that Black holds up as well as he does. I preferred to push the other pawn, 26.c5 instead of 26.d6, but White is winning either way.
