hi peter,
see comments on chessbase website.
http://www.chessbase.com/events/games/2002_smirin/smirin.htm
they give 14.f5 +- before that it's 7...Bg4? 8...Be6? 9...c5? 10...h6? - a whole
series of awful moves. probably its already lost there. BTW, this is nearly the
game van wely - fritz SSS of the dutch championship.
