Um, .... Martin the diagram is OK. You're looking at the position at Black's
17th move. I had posted correctly from the game at Black's 19th move. Van Wely
had played the manouvre ... Bh6+ and ... Bxd2+. So the White bishop at c3 is
"gone".

I had just thought that taking the WR, which proved so valuable in the
concluding attack was the better piece to capture than the WB.

Thanks for the reponses from you and GCP.

Cheers,
Jim
