Thanks to GM Smirin for the great games! > >He is pretty much dominating the match, DJ7 was lucky to escape a piece down! I do not think that it was luck. I think that it was a mistake of smirin to let Junior sacrificing a piece for two pawns(it is hard after it to win the game). Smirin could do better by playing different moves but sometimes the evaluation of humans is simply wrong. I think that other possibilities like winning a pawn by Rxg7 could give smirin better practical chances but maybe my evaluation is wrong and it is easy to give advices after you know the final result. I guess that Rxg7 is not the only way to win the game but it seems to me the simplest way from human's point of view. It is all guessing and I did not analyze the game enough to be sure that Rxg7 is winning. Uri
