Blacks pawn sacrifice had given him a very good game positionally, but, as is often the case in such situations, the pressure of defending such positions induces White toward an oversight that allows a quick tactical finish. 36...Qh3! with the unavoidable threat of Qxg3. 37.Nf2 Qxg3 38.hxg3 Rh6+ 0-1
