It seems to me that Tiger, when playing 21...Bxa2?, cannot have expected 22.b3.
Maybe he expected something like 22.Rxc7 Rxd4 23.Ra1 Bd5 24.Rxa6 or similar. I
would be interested if Tiger "knows" this standard motif of locking up a bishop
after it captured a border pawn on the 2nd (7th) row. I think, in such cases the
lines beginnig with b3 etc. should be examined more closely than usual (?).
