Dec-09-09  talfan: Or 31... g4! 32. Qg3 Qf1 33. Rxf1( Kxf1 Rh1++) Nxf2++ would lead to a beautiful black win.

<4. Najer-Nepomniachtchi, Moscow, 2006

There followed 31...Qb5? 32.Rd4 Rxd4 33.Bxd4 Nd5 34.Qb3 . Evgeny Najer won this game, and subsequently the whole tournament.

The outcome of the contest could have been different if Ian Nepomniachtchi had noticed an impressive combination.

<<<31...g4! 32.Qg3 Qf1+!!>>>

Any capture leads to mate: 33.Kxf1 Rh1 or 33.Rxf1 Ne2.>
