first complaint when he walked out of the playing hall was that he never
should have given his pawn on b6. And turning to his opponent, who was walking
next to him: I was better, right? Nakamura didn't agree completely and said
that he wasn't so sure that Black had been better, but once they sat down to
analyze the game he consented, although he believed that it wasn't easy at all
to exploit Black's advantage.} (25... Nh5 26. Qxd5 (26. Bxb6 $2 Re2 27. Qxd5

Lujubojevic a difficult quandry: how should he take? Though he chose to take
with the queen, a mistake, the answer is that the best move is to actually not
touch the pawn, as unpleasant as b6 looks and is.} Qxb5 $2 (31... Be3 {Despite
