Apr-13-07		Whitehat1963: 53...Qg7?? 54. Qf3+ and the rook is dead. Or 53...Kh5 54. Qh8+ Qxh8 55. Rxh8+ Kg7 and 56. Rxh4 picks up a pawn.(Kg5?? 56. Ne4+ and again, the rook is dead.) Am I missing something better? (Bogo loses with the Bogo -- Opening of the Day.)

Apr-13-07		solstys: <Whitehat1963> 55...Kg7 is impossible because the king will be on h5, but 55...Kg5 isn't that bad because black will have a knight and a pawn to white's rook (after 56. Ne4+ Kf5 57. Nxd2 Nxd2). That's still a tough fight for white and much better than the game line.

Apr-14-07		kapabl: <Whitehat1963> The black knight is protecting the rook, so the queen can’t pick it off. So I think If 53...g7 54.g4+ h7 55.e7 or 54… abandons Or, if 53...g5 54.f4+ xf4 (Not 54...h5 55.h8+ xh8 56.h8#) 55.e4+ h5 56. h8+ h6 55.xh6+ seems similar to the line given by <solstys> for 53…h5

Apr-14-07		Whitehat1963: Thanks guys, I really screwed that up, huh?!
