So here is my favourite game of all time as it contains the bravest move I have ever seen and was described as a masterpiece by the commentators. What do you think. I don't know how to post it into the site so if someone could please.

19 0-0-0 is one hell of a move, even if the spoilsport computer suggests it doesn't quite work with best play by Black.

It's certainly the bravest move I have ever seen.

0-0-0 is impressive. I assume Giri decided not to wait for Nxf7+ at the end, then Rd8 or Qh6 depending on reply.

Miroshenko, or however you spell his name, was commentating and described it as a masterpiece. The control of the position Dubov has after castling into the firing line really is something to behold. And yes 0-0-0 is my all time favourite move ever seen -super brave!
