  Knight13: 27. gxf7 is better. 44. Rh5? is a mistake. 44. Kxa2 is better. Can somebody explain to me why in the end game White never took the a2 pawn?
Aug-23-06   sneaky pete: <Knight13> If 27.gxf6? Bh3 wins. 44.Rh5 .. is an attempt to activate his rook and control the black f-pawn. After 44.Kxa2 .. black can choose between 44... Kf6 with 45...Kxg6 (45.h5 f4) and 44... f4 45.Rh5 f3 46.Rf5 Rf8 etc.

The a2 pawn seems irrelevant at this stage of the game. 43.h4 .. is a waste of time, but after 43.Kxa2 f5 black should win easily as well.
