16...Bb4! A sweet move by a GM. A move many players wpuld never consider
including yours truly. On my machine, stock Crafty keeps Bb4+ for over a minute
before switching over. Most programs play Bd5 or Be4.

Not a lot of choices here for white. White's position has weakened. I believe
white has gone wrong earlier - perhaps with 21. d5.

A nice win by Judith Polgar. I would love to see her play for the World
Championship someday. That would be great for Chess!
