Commentary for black move 32:

SUSAN POLGAR: For black I would suggest maybe to get ready for the threat of the g7 pawn, after the rook will capture the pawn, for example, playing Rd7. And after Rxg6, play Ne4. I don't know if it works, some tactical ideas with --

MAURICE ASHLEY: But Susan, usually when you play a chess game you want to know why did this person make this move. I mean that's the first question. You made the move and you think "Oh, they did it because of this." A scary moment for me is when my opponent makes a move and I go "Huh?" I scratch my head and look at the person and say what kind of move is that? You can either think that, you know, they were drinking a little too much vodka before the game --
