@jack6814 agreed, in this variation i see 33...Nb3, 34 Rd1 (forced) Nc5(winning a tempo), 35 Bf3 a5(securing the knight). I am sure vallejo saw that line, i think he was afraid of his ugly looking rook on g3 and second the white counterpart might get active. Mr. Ashley should have shared his thoughts about that possibility to make us understand high level chess better; it was a critical position.
lol..is this guy trying to reveal what the players are thinking ?

@11:09 white has winning chances but knight can come to life via b3, c5 instead of Rg2?
I believe vallejo missed...

if chess ever gains the mass spectator appeal that it deserves in the U.S., maurice ashley will certainly be the voice.
