Bukavshin oversight

15y old Russian player Ivan Bukavshin played a very good tournament in Aeroflot, with a GM norm. But here he forgot something against former FIDE world champion Khalifman (it's good to see him againt in tournaments!).

Black just played Qg6. Which tactical problem did he overlook ?

Beautiful game in Aeroflot

The Bundesliga game was nice. But here is a fantastic game played today in Moscow!!
