Dec-15-05		paladin at large: Alapin wins a fine rook and pawn endgame with the more active rook, although he went into that phase a pawn down and remained down for a while. Why did he play 39. h5 and not R3c7 at once?

Mar-06-06		Tamerlan: <paladin at large>: I think it was a mistake.

Nov-07-08		FHBradley: According to he omniscient Nalimov, the final position is a draw.

Nov-07-08		Chessdreamer: <FHBradley> This is draw Isidor Gunsberg vs. Jacques Mieses, Breslau 1889!

Nov-07-08		FHBradley: <Chessdreamer:> Thanks for that. It really does seem that Alapin-Burn, Frankfurt 1887 is a misattribution. Btw, black missed a draw with 63... Ke5 (instead of 63... Ke7 or Ke6) and white missed a win with 65 Rb1 (instead of 65 Rd8).
