22: b4 Qa3

Work it forward from there. White queen will have to pull back to Qc1 protect the Rook, then black Nd4.


Not really. Qa3 is worse than Qa4 or Qd8(recommended for this line). The answer from white would be Rb3.

23. Rb3 Qxa2 or whatever
24. Nc1 Qc2
25. Rxd3 capturing the black bishop that was moved just couple of moves ago and with the caliber of players here, this is 1-0 at this point, no need to play further.

Bd3 is a blunder, period.

Ok so why not 20. Nd4 Nxd5?

21. Nxe6 Kf6

This was the position after 20.Nd4


20.Nd4 Nxd5
21.Nxe6 Kf6
22.cxd5 is completely winning for white


20.Nd4 Nxd5
21.Nxe6 Bxe6
22.cxd5 Bxd5 is also good for white


Looking at the game so far there may be a few moves I might have changed in retrospect, but I do not think there have been any blunders yet. In a game like this it is hard for a really bad move to win a vote, unless the reason why it is bad is quite complicated.  If just one person can see why a move is horrible, providing that analysis well before the deadline should be enough to change voters minds and avoid the blunder.
