Jun-26-11		JoergWalter: Fritz is insisting that 29.Qxg5 is mate in 6. the others: if 32.Qg6+ instead of Qe5+ then mate in 1. And if 33.Nd6+ is replaced by Qg7+ it is mate in 2. quite a few oversights for a great attacker like Charousek.

Jun-26-11		parisattack: This is true, good spot - but: I think what happens is the player sees a combination/continuation pretty much through to the end one way and at each move is mostly just checking his analysis and not looking for something different. Not necessarily wise but I believe that is how it goes.

Jun-27-11		sevenseaman: The checker knows he is locked on to a win and plays it by the ear; not necessarily making optimal clinical moves. I'd rather be a Charousek than a Fritz.

Jun-27-11		JoergWalter: <I'd rather be a Charousek than a Fritz.> I agree, unfortunately I'm none of the two. so I use the computer to check the old games. you will find quite a lot of these "inaccuracies" and sometimes the wrong side wins and sometime you don't know why one side has resigned the game. A good source for the latter are the games of Staunton vs. Cochrane. Cochrane resigns and it is hard to see why.
