19. Rd6! Ernesto Kazbekovich keeps the initiative by a skillful maneuver with his Rook and puts his opponent in a dilemma. 19. ... Qf7? A “natural” reply that produces the most disastrous consequences! The lesser evil was 19. ... Qe7 20. Bg5 Qf7, although after 21. Rhd1! Qxf3 22. R6d3 Qxg4 23. Rg3 Qh5 24. Bd3 White stands much better. Now the refutation is very elegant: 20. Rh6!! Fantastic! 20. ... Nxf3. As bad as any other move. 21. Bg6+ gxh6 22. Bxf7 exf4 23. Qg6! Rc6 24. Be6 Rxe6 25. Qxe6 1 : 0.
