Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-10-04   wall: Is 39...Kb7 better than the game move 39...Kd7?

Does 41...Kc7 hold instead of the game move 41...Bb4?

After 46.Bxd6+! Bxd6 47.g7 wins.

  lostemperor: In my analysis: 41...Kc7 does not hold. 42.b6 <42.Be3 Bb6 43.Bxb6 will also do> Bxb6 43.Bxb6 Kxb6 44.Kxd6 and white wins the race of free pawns. White's f pawn queens earlier than black's e-pawn and she will win the queen ending in this case (check it out).

Also 41...Bc7 42.b6

Dec-15-05   razoman: Name should be Rodolfo not Radolfo.
Jun-01-08   Xeroxx: Rudolfo?
Jun-01-08   Xeroxx: Actually I have faced this very sacrifce a couple of years ago(?).

Now I see where my opponent got it from.

Jun-05-08   Xeroxx: Hmm, there are no sacrifce in this game I seem to be confused??
Sep-14-08   pom nasayao: The last move was a brilliant one!
