Jun-09-07		Phony Benoni: 41.Rg5?? spoils what promised to be an interesting ending, in which I think Black probably had an edge due to White's weak pawns. For instance, the g-pawn is in trouble already, and after 41.g7 Ng6 42.Nxg6 Rxg6+ it's coming off. However, Black has only one pawn left, so the ending would certainly not be an easy win. The rest of the game also has its points. White is clearly an all-out attacker, while Black shows some positional sense by inflicting weaknesses. 18.c5 was a nice idea, and Black did well to decline the pawn: after 18...bxc5 19.dxc5 Qxc5 20.Bxf6 gxf6 21.Qxh6, White has his pawn back and Black's king has stuff to worry about. Black's later queen maneuvers seem a bit time-consuming, and gave White some chances.
