Does that look like a composed position to you?  It's not!

GM Stefanova, A (2523) - GM Kosteniuk, A (2508)
36th Olympiad w Calvia ESP (7), 22.10.2004

1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 d6 6.Bg5 e6 7.Qd2 Qb6 8.0-0-0 Be7 9.Nb3 0-0 10.f3 a6 11.g4 Rd8 12.Qe1 Qc7 13.h4 b5 14.Be3 Nd7 15.f4 Bb7 16.g5 Rac8 17.Rh2 Nc5 18.h5 b4 19.Nd5 exd5 20.exd5 Na5 21.Nxa5 Qxa5 22.Bxc5 Re8 23.Bd4 Qxa2 24.Qxb4 Bxd5 25.Rh3 Be4 26.Bd3 d5 27.Qb7 Qa1+ 28.Kd2 Qa4 29.c3 Bxd3 30.Rxd3 Rb8 31.Qxd5  Diagram   Complete analysis of this game by GM Kosteniuk here.








31...Bxg5

31...Bd6 32.b4 Bxf4+ etc., just as in the actual game continuation.; and 31...Rxb2+ wins as well, but much slower than the above two options.

32.b4

32.fxg5 Rxb2+ and mate next.; 32.Qxg5 Rxb2+ and mate next.; so the next most reasonable attempt to hang on is 32.Rb1 but that allows 32...Bxf4+ etc., again, just as in the actual game continuation.  White just has too many loose ends, aka weaknesses.

32...Bxf4+ 33.Be3 Bxe3+ 34.Rxe3 Rbd8 0-1
