6. White plays 40.Rxd7!? in great time trouble and see that after 40...Qxb5 41.Rxd8 that the Queen cannot guard the Rook on e8. Black though, does have the nice defense 41...Qxb4, which he missed. White got a winning position but later lost due to less time. Actually 40.Nc6! is better, but 40.Rxd7 is still nice to see in time trouble!
7. White, seeing that the "best" move, 21.Qxe6+ only leads to a favorable draw, plays the psychological 21.Qc4!?, which ends up leading to quick victory after Black is not able to find the best defense in a tricky position.
