I cant get f4-f5 to work. The more I look at the position, the more I wonder if f4-f5 is a punch when there is no f3-knight in play. It was exchanged on b6. Probably top-GM's like Ghasimov can feel (or know) that in such positions that there is no danger of being mated (?) You are probably right Arne.

Wasn't the only way to try to win given a check on b4 and then promote to another queen. Saw Queen trade wasn't working for a win. After Nf5, Rf7, Nh6 white just captures on f7.

Otherwise a very nice report! Gabriel Sargissian’s rating should be 2676, not 2568.

White has no pieces for his attack and Black's bishops control all vital squares. He should be glad he escaped with a draw! :-) How can it be ‘winning’ for White, Frans?

But even great players like Shirov have been known to make mistakes Meppie.... No, to be honest, I was a bit disappointed. By Shirov (for not just winning this game) and by myself. I cant find a forced win after f5 indeed, but to my mind ef7+ cant be the solution. I have a gut feeling the position is winning for white. But how to make it work? Let me ponder for a while.
