From the book -Chess: the Art of logical thinking page 50.By GM Neil McDonald
A. Shirov against J. Polgar 1994 theme chess. Shirov knew Polgar would play
c5 to e4.

Following is the position reached after move 15.....Polgar Black played Qxg5!
Shirov White played 16. Ca5..Is this the best continuation? Shirov resigned on
the 29th move.

[D]r3kb1r/1b3p2/p2pp3/4nnqP/1p2P3/1N6/PPP1NBQP/R3KB1R w KQkq - 0 16

F8.0023 analysed for 8hrs with the following result.
16.h4 Qg4 17.Nd2 Qxh5 18.Nf4 Qh7 19,Qh2 Bh6. Does this defence look correct?
