Author: ALI MIRAFZALI

The following astonishing position is taken from the game Atalik vs Gufeld
Losangeles 2000:
[D]r1b2rk1/1pNnq1b1/1B1p2n1/P2Pp2p/4Pp2/5Pp1/1P2B1PP/R2QNRK1 w
Here Atalik played 21.h3 .In fact incorrect would be 21.Nxa8? However the
analysis of why is very difficult and Complicated.Here are two sample lines
given by Gufeld  A)21.Nxa8 Nxb6 22.Nxb6 Qh4 23.h3 Bxh3 24.gxh3 Qxh3 25.Rf2 gxf2
26.Kxf2 Qh2+ 27.Ng2 Nh4 28.Qh1 Qg3+ 29.Kf1 Nxf3 30.Bxf3 Qxf3+ 31.Kg1 Qxe4
32.Qh4 Qd4+ 33.Qf2 e4 34.Ra4 Qd1+ 35.Qe1 Qxe1+ 36.Nxe1 f3 37.Nc2 Rf4
B) same as A) until 28: 28.Qf1 Rf6 29.Nc8 Bf8 30.Qh1 Qg3+ 31.Kf1 Nxf3 32.Rd1 Rg6
All with advantage to Black.
please indicate your result.
