Solution

1) H. Olaffson - Levitt.

1.c4 Nf6 2.Nc3 e6 3.Nf3 c5 4.g3 b6 5.Bg2 Bb7 6.0-0 Be7 7.d4 Ne4 8.Nxe4 Bxe4 9.Bf4 0-0 10.dxc5 bxc5 11.Qd2 Qb6 12.Rfd1 Rd8 13.Qe3 Qb7 14.Bd6 Bxd6 15.Rxd6 Qxb2 16.Rad1 Qb7

Reaching the position you have just come from. Olaffson now unleashed...

17.Rxe6!!

The game continued...

17... fxe6
18.Ng5! h6

18...Bxg2 19.Qxe6+!! dxe6 20.Rxd8 Mate; 18...Nc6 19.Qxe4 g6 20.Qh4 h5 21.g4 Kg7 22.Ne4+-.

19.Nxe4 Nc6

20...Qb6 21.Nxd7 Qxe3 22.fxe3 Rac8 23.Bxc6 Rxc6 24.Nf6+ Kf7! 25.Rxd8 Kxf6 26.Rd4

With a clear advantage.

21.Nxd7 Rac8

21...Re8 22.Qe4 Rac8 23.Qg6 Rcd8 (23...Ne5 24.Nf6+ Kf8 25.Nxe8+-; 23...Re7 24.Bh3 Rxd7 25.Qxe6+ Rf7 26.Qxc8++-) 24.Nf6+! Kf8 25.Rd7!!+-.

22.Qxe6+ Kh8
23.Be4 Ne7

23...Ne5 24.Nxe5! Rxd1+ 25.Kg2+-.

24.Rd6 Qxc4
25.Qxe7 Qc1+
26.Kg2 Re8
27.Qf7 Rxe4
28.Rg6

I think he deserved the full point there.
