appropriate defence to 19.Bxh6 gxh6? (19…Nh7!) however then Lei performed 22.Nxe5? (22.Kh2!)
and black was higher after which 30.c4? profitable. After 34.Nf5 it got here right down to
whether or not black might keep away from perpetual examine, it was attainable however the best way to
do it wasn’t 42….Bf7? however 42…Ke8 as an alternative. So a draw in the long run.
