  Troller: It's a quite spectacular move, but there are other options for Black in that position. 21..Bc4 is more logical, and it may even be stronger.

Pancevski got into heavy time trouble already around move 20 in this game.

Mar-23-12  JohnBoy: So, <notyet>, what can be said in reply to <Troller>? Is 21...Bd3 just showy, or is it substantially better than 21...Bc4? or other alternatives? Gentlemen, start your engines.
