Sep-15-08		gambitfan: A very interesting enfgame + // Let us have a look : click for larger view 55 Qc5+ ... Black played 55... c4? and gives the win to White Black were probably convinced that White would feel forced to make the exchange of Queens : 57 Qxc4?? Kxc4 1/2-1/2 In reality White played 57 Kb6!! And now : 57... xc5? 58 xc5 1-0 because the Black King is now unable to take the White Pawn ! No other move can prevent the White Pawn from queening!! Instead of giving the victory to White by the weak move 56... c4?? Black probably could have avoided the loss and draw... What do you think ?

Sep-15-08		Calli: Yes 56...Kb2 draws because White can't advance the pawn 57.a4 Qf4+ or 57.Qd5 Qf4+ and Qa4
