Commentary for white move 18:

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Five.

MIKE VALVO: Five o'clock. GK MOVE: 18 Bxc5.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Let me introduce a personal friend of mine. I met Roman in 1978 in Hastings, England. He was playing in an International Grandmaster tournament with Tigran Petrosian, a ledgedary world champion. Roman destroyed the field, won the event easily. He's one of America's strongest Grandmasters. He has his own Internet site, Chess Net, and it is a great pleasure to introduce Grandmaster Roman Dzindzihashvili.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Corrections? Roman, first thoughts. What's your feeling?

ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: It's not much I can agree with you.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Ha-ha.

ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: Let's think about this position.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: We do have a move, I beg your pardon.

ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: h3 is not played.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Right. And Garry has played b4xc5.

ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: The reason why I think he did not play h3, if we can go back in just a moment -- on h5 I like b5 and I think black is okay.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: /OEPGS up on the queen-side. And then in order to meet Nf2-g4 with...?

ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: I'm not going to respond -- not going to take on --

MIKE VALVO: If you don't move, you can't lose.

ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: I think Rab8. It may be better for white a little bit, but I don't think anything dangerous.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Anything special?

ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: Nxf6, bishop takes, with the idea of --

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Let's try bxc4. Then there's Nxe5. You're not afraid of Nxe 5.

ROMAN DZINDZIHASHVILI: Well, maybe I take the knight first.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Right. We have to take the move back. And so this would force you to capture the knight on g4?
