| Guguni: what if 36... N:a2? Black pawns seem pretty dangerous. |

| RandomVisitor: 15...Nxe5! 16.fxe5 Qxg5 might be good for black.
14...Nxe5! (even 14...Bxe5!) 15.fxe5 Qxg5 might also be good for black. |

| UrVileWedge: It's a terrible move, but the idea of ...40 bxa2 is so visually appealing, that I almost wish Staunton had played to get isolated tripled pawns on the a file like that. |

| widjaja: What if 36.... Nxa2? Is anybody check that black could have a winning chance? |

| OneArmedScissor: I'm pretty positive black wins if Nxa2 |

| OneArmedScissor: Actually, he doesn't because white can play e6+! Ke8 and then d6!! |

| mertangili: At first glance, 36...Nxa2 37. e6+ Ke7 38. Re1 seems good enough for white as black knight on a2 cant move anywhere without being taken and on a2 it hinders its own pawns' advance. on the other hand white acquired pretty strong way to queening with his three connected passed pawns and rooks behind them. |

| shakespeare: I think too that Nxa2 is a good idea
lets say Re1 (Rd1 looses immediately)
37. Nc3! to gain tempo
38. Kxc3 (almost forced) a2
39. Ra1 Rxc5+ reduces pressure in the center
40. Kd4 Rc2 followed by a3 b2
If correctly played, black will not promote, but white looses at least one rook |

| TheaN: <Knight13: 46... Kd7 47. c8=Q Rxc8 48. Rxc8 Kxc8 49. Kc4 Kd7 50. Kd5 Ke7 51. e6 Ke8 52. Kd6 Kd8 53. e7+ Ke8> White actually mates faster from this move on in comparison with 54.h4?! you provided. Mate in 5 after: <54.Ke6! g5 55.fxg5 f4 56.g6 f3 57.g7 fxg2 58.g8=Q‡ 1-0> which is actually a very known pattern to abuse the stalemated King position if there are still other pawns OTB. |

| TheaN: Ironically, White can promote to any piece:
<58.g8=R‡ 1-0>
<58.g8=B g1=Q 59.Bf7‡ 1-0> <58.g8=N g1=Q 59.Nf6‡ 1-0> Nice. |

| whiteshark: <RandomVisitor: ...14...Nxe5! (even 14...Bxe5!) 15.fxe5 Qxg5 might also be good for black.> What's the best move after <16.Ne4 Qd8 17.Nd6>?

| martas: mertangili, shakespeare: I've checked Nxa2 with Rybka, evaluation is +2 for white. 37 .. Nc3 is wrong idea, because with moves Re1, e6 and e7 (with d6 if Ke7) black rook needs to be involved in defending promotion (which is deadly) and c3 knight is then taken by white king for free.
Rybka's best line after Nxa2 is 37.e6 Kf6 38.Re1 Ng8 39.d6 Ne7 40.Rd1 b2 41.g4 Nc1 42.g5 with evaluation 2.3 |

| kevin86: What an army of pawns on both sides-white's were better organized and his was the last standing. I know a friend that named his boys,Micah,Elijah,and Isaiah. Of the three,the most important one (prophet,not boy) was Elijah-who didn't have the time to write a book,lol. |
