I'll never forget that finish against Vaganian; we set it up out of mischief, when he came to play a simul against us.

Interesting article. In the game below, I'm wondering why, in the variation with 32. Qg7, the BCN annotator thinks 32... Bb6 is the best move. My computer couldn't work it out either, flitting between every possible Bishop move on the g1-a7 diagonal for a long time before settling on a different move.
