It's not hard, but 37. Rxd5!! is a nice stroke. Taking or declining the sac is lethal.

I didn't follow this tournament. Karjakin will be playing Carlson for the title?

I think my chess days are long over.. :?

Ted, I think this is round 14 :)

It was an awesome game. I particularly like 20. b3, which seems scary with black's dark square bishop still active, but turned out very well. SF7 recommends it, but only after like 1 min calculations, which is a lot by fish standards :lol:
