Combination from WC Candidate Matches
In Game1 of the second round of the World Championship Candidate Matches, Sergei Rublevsky had just played 31...Rf2, cornering white's King. Can you tell us how Alexander Grischuck turn the situation around by a briliant combination?

I though white is finished. So I look at the actual game on your site. Hey, not only that I found the solution, I discovered too that you have an up-to-date PGN games (with fantastic viewer) of the WC Candidate Matches. Your chessgenie diagram is unique, I can actually moved and tried the combo on the board. This is great!
White can escape black's attack by simply moving its king, example; 32.Kg1 Rxg2 33.Kf1, and so on. But white's beautiful response (in the text move) 32.Rxc6! bxc6 33.Rxf7! shortened the game as white's pawn at b6 is unstopable from queening.
The viewer is great but I wish it was possible to reverse the last few moves. Otherwise you need to completely reset the position.
you can view the full pgn using chesswtheatre at the link http://www.rootyhillchess.org/chesstheatre/wccm7/CT_wccm7.html round 1 of World Championship Candidate Match(R2).
