The game is too complicated for me to analyze. Somebody should get out Fritz. Anyway, here it is:

My son Peter had a very good result in the just concluded World Open. His only losses were to grandmasters and players rated over 2400. In Round 8, he defeated a player rated 2460. This victory put him in first place for the Under-2300 prize of $3000. Unfortunately, the computer paired him against Grandmaster Rohde for the last round. Peter protested, but Goichberg ruled that computer pairings are accepted unless clearly wrong. Unfortunately, Peter lost to Rohde in the last round and finished out of the money.
