Firstly a Blindfold position, Van Wely Morozevich with Black mating very quickly: Sensational is one of many adjectives that could be used to describe the following game. Vassily Ivanchuck celebrates his 39th birthday with a spectacular queen for two pawn sacrifice in the opening, an innovation he prepared a week before. However with no immediate mate for White, will Black be able to counter-sacrifice to blunt the attack and remain with a winning material advantage?

Kxf6. 21.Nd5+ or 20...Qxc5 21.Ne4+) 20.N3e4 wins the knight on f6 and fatally exposes the black king. b) White with bishop and three pawns for rook has already gained a material advantage. c) In seeking activity Black loses his remaining pawns. d) Its practically all over 35Kd5 36.Ne4 Kc6 37.h4 Rh1 38.Rc4+ Kb6 39.b4 Rd8 40.Rc5 Ra8 41.c3 Ra2+ 42.Ke3 Re1+ 43.Kf4 Rf1 44.Rh5 Ra8 45.Rh6+ Kb5 46.Nd6+ Ka4 47.Rxh7 47...Kb3 48.Rc7 Rd8 49.Nf5 Black resigns.
