Nov-16-02		pawntificator: How about 34...Ng5 35 Qxa6 Qxa6 36 Rxa6 Rf1+ 37 Kh2 Ne4 and I would bet on black to win! wooo!!! Although I personally like Keres better. Why is there no picture of Keres on his page??

Nov-16-02		drukenknight: I dont think white wants to exchange at this pt. he wants to work the pin and the passed pawn.

Nov-17-02		pawntificator: But they gave up and called it a tie over the protection of a pawn!! How cowardly. It appears that black could win from the final position

Nov-19-02		drukenknight: 34...Ng5 35 Rf1

Jun-24-06		Whitehat1963: So how do Crafty and the rest of the engines evaluate the final position. What's the best continuation? (Opening of the Day)

Jun-24-06		crafty: 34. ... f5 35. g1 f8 36. xa6 d7 37. a2 c6 (eval -0.60; depth 15 ply; 1000M nodes)

Dec-08-11		Honza Cervenka: I wonder why Euwe did not play simply 29...Qxc3. White was quite happy to escape with draw here.
