I said a "Beautiful Win" not due to Bh6+ as that leads to mate and is easy to
find, but rather the overall play by Shredder, that finally cumulated into the
this combination. (I do know something about chess.) At least I should!;~)

BTW Shredder had a positional advantage after 12...h6? 13.Ngxf7! +-
Some think this is an error, I disagree.

Of course Gulko made additional errors that gave White the win.
