A little preview before tomorrow's matchup between the two tournament leaders. To say they are familiar with each other is an understatement. #CairnsCup
18...0–0–0? [Black thought that he would find enough compensation for the material deficit but this wrong decision costs him the game.]
[18...Nc3+! △Q×g5 would be correct: 19.bxc3 Qxg5 20.cxb4 fxe6 21.Nb3 Na4 22.Ka1 cxb3 23.Bxa6 bxc2 24.Rc1„; 18...fxe6? 19.Nxh7 Rf5 20.Qxg6+ Kd7 21.g4‚ Rxf3 22.Qe4+–]
19.exf7 Na4 20.Ne4 Nac3+? [This emotional sacrifice achieves nothing.]

21.bxc3 Nxc3+ 22.Nxc3 bxc3 23.Rxd8++–
1–0

20.Red3? [This move allows Black to consolidate his position.]
[20.g4!! would be correct: trying to access the vital e4–square. 20...f4 (20...fxg4 21.Ne4+–; 20...Qf8 21.Qh5 f4 22.Re4+–) 21.Ne4+–; 20.c3!? would also be interesting, in order to open up the c-file, putting pressure on the black knight on c6.]
