31 f5 has livened up the position. My old Fritz 6 thought manouvering to trade rooks and queens was better. We'll see.

Whoa ! Just noticed Le Quang Liem took down Kamsky in 27 moves to go to 4-0
Thomas -
Move 32 - Thomas got back his P - material equality.
Stockfish has it almost equal.

40 moves have been made and the players are catching their breath. White had given Thomas a chance to equalize with 38. Re8, but 39 ... Qd6 (made with less than a minute left on the clock) may have thrown away a half point for Thomas, we shall see.
OK the computer is telling me 43 Rc8 (obvious try for white) Rg3+ perpetual
It would seem to me that Thomas "blundered" in a drawn position with 46 ...h5, instead of just repeating the position.
