Diagram, p.65, Endgame Advantage
Hernandez vs Moskalenko, 2001

Rybka 3.0 gives 24.bxa5 here instead of 24.a3 as given in the game. After 24...Ra8 25.Rc2 Rxa5 26.Nd4 27.Nb3 the Black N is trapped. Does this make the trade of Qs on move 22 valid?

Don't trust computers evaluations or variations in the endgame. Once the queens are swapped, only use them to blunder check, and believe in your ideas.

All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

	Black probably feared (24.bxa5) c5!, maybe for good reason: 25.Rc2?! d4! 25.Nc3?! Nxc3 26.Rxc3 c4 25.Rb1 d4!? 26.Rxb7+ Kh8 25.Ng3 Nxg3 26.hxg3 c4 25.f3 Nd2 26.Rd1 Nc4 25.Bg2!? Rc8 In all these lines it looks like Black has good compensation or at least complications.
