his position. White has the bishop pair, Black's pawns are weak, and I'm not
really crazy about his pieces either. That being said, Black is by no means
busted. The c-pawn needs to be defended, but Shimanov chooses the wrong rook
to do it with.} Rfc8 $2 {It looks like the action is happening on the

however, Daniel really makes him pay.} (19... Rac8 {keeps his position

was one wrong rook move!} 1-0
