Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-14-06  Elroch: Horwitz lost this due to an error on move 70 in an instructive rook versus pawn ending.

70. ...b3? was the losing move, but 70. ...Kd4! is a textbook example of doing two jobs with the king, marching towards c2 by an indirect route to delay the white king.

70. ...Kd4! 71. Rb7 Kc3 72. Ke4 (72. Rc7+ Kd2! or Kd3!, Kd4!, but not Kb2? losing 73. Rc7+ Kd2! and black can hold the draw.
