Así que quede claro que todo es culpa del Delirante.
Que la excusa se la halla tenido que currar él, y no yo se debe a…. ¿No tengo brazos?
PD: ¡¡Y en Comic sans!!

Shirov
This year Wijk Aan Zee tournament victory went for Magnus Carlsen. As related in other posts he is going to be ruling chess for some time, specially is Kasparov is to be his long term trainer.
In spite of Carlsen victory the tournament started with a Spanish player on top, with 5 victories in a row Alexei Shirov lead the table and got the headlines around the world. At this momente he was 1.5 points ahead of runner up. Most players in this situation would have played defensive chess, easy opennings aiming for quick draws. Not the spaniard, he’s well known for creative and visually attractive chess, not sure he’s capable of playing for draw.
At the end Shirov finished second, but he had chances to win the tournament on his last game. Short of time he did not manage to see the fairly easy continuation on his game agains Cuban GM Lenier Dominguez.
Below is the game in question, can you find the appropiate continuation? (Shirov only had 20 seconds in the clock for the next 10 moves).
