Interesting game watched on ICC by quite a few people.
Russek played a bad opening but managed to get away with it.
Rebel looked to be cruising with a good advantage early on. I think 14.O-O was
a little suspect, I much prefer Qe2 preparing Be4 and leaving options of
castling either way. Here is the fen:
rn2k2r/pbp2p2/1p2pp2/7q/2PP4/3B1NP1/PP4PP/R2QK2R w KQq -
LambChop likes Qe2 here (except for a brief change to a3 at depth 8), how about
other programs?
The move 18 sac on f5 was interesting, here is the fen:
r3k2r/pbpn1pq1/1p2p3/5p2/2PP1Q1N/3B2P1/PP4PP/R4RK1 w q -
LambChop switches between Nxf5 and Bxf5 here with scores of between +1.6 and +2,
I'm not sure if either is sound (although I suspect Nxf5 was sound) but they
sure look like fun!
cheers,
Peter
