[D] 2q3k1/5pp1/3Rn3/4P2p/2QP1p2/2n3P1/P4PKP/1r3B2 b - - 0 40

Here Ivanchuck traded queens ?????????  Unbeleivable !!!  I guess even Super
GM's can miss a move that even in 1 0 bullet is obvious. f3+ with queen and 2
Knights and a Rook seem so obviously a mating net that it is hard to believe
that Ivanchuk missed it.  I was watching this game and completely stopped
looking at it thinking it was 0-1.  Rybka gives a +11 for f3+ ....  I guess we
can all make fun of how computers play endgames ... but they must be making fun
of how even a top 10 Super GM can miss such a elementary win.  I really would
have liked to have seen the look on Gelfands face when Ivanchuk trading queens.
