Black has to be careful. Swiercz played very well.

White played Rh3-Rg3, and I think he may have had the idea of Rc1-c4-g4. White may have thought that ...Qh1+ Ke2 doesn't matter. The subsequent ...Qb1 was crucial.

Oct-13-22  jerseybob: Good gut win for Dariusz, who proves he belongs in this fast company. After surviving the initial scary phase after 13.Nfg5,c5 14.Qf3,Nxe4! black is a pawn up with q-side weaknesses, which white attacks with 20.Qc6. Black's response is brilliant, letting the b-pawn fall, then with 21..Nf6! tactically protecting the c-pawn buying time for black's pieces to get to the center.
Oct-14-22  Cheapo by the Dozen: Interesting game, first with the middlegame tactics, and then with the many passed pawns in the ending.
