📘 39...Nd4??
The Black Knight is wrongly placed with the queen on the same file.
Ivanchuk could have played: 39...Qd7 (with the idea of Nd4 - e6 40.Re4! Qc6 41.f3 Nc5 =
40.Qd6! Q×b2 41.Re8+ 1-0
with a quick checkmate.

Zhigalko's blunder in an equal position. He won the Belarusian Chess Championship in 2009, 2012 and 2013.

📘 22...Nc5?
The White Queen suffers from lack of space and Bocharov could have exploited that with the following continuation:

📕 20.Na4!
This knight was not doing anything substantial on c3. Now it is heading for c5-d3-e5, and also eyes the b6-square. 20...Nxd4 is not possible because of 21.Nb6!+-.

An attractive idea! Polgar intends to transfer the knight to d5- outpost via c2-e3 squares.
