Ok, Zappa could be a big searcher and attacker, but at 20th it has to face just
a technical endgame. I think that 24..Na5 was a great mistake, because on
24..Nd2 the game is easily level, after White's 25.Nbd6 or 25. Nbc3.
I think that no one human should have played a such misunderstanding move like
24..Na5, taking the Knight completely out of business.
A really strange and losing move from Shredder!
