Result: 0-1
After Margarito's 15... Nexf6??, Rhal has a win on hand via 16.Ng5+-, but he overlooked the win and played 16.b3, giving him an advantage.
ReplyDeleteMargarito committed another blunder with 20... h6?? and this time Rhal saw the correct continuation that gave him a 1-pawn advantage with 21.Nxe6+- and a winning game!
But Rhal erred in exchanging his active B for a passive N, on 25.Bxd7, which has no useful square that allowed his opponent to recover a bit.
Rhal made a second error in 27.f3. The correct continuation is 27.c4 - to get rid of the backward pawn. Or 27.Qg6.
