Nov-24-04		Knight13: Hard fought game. So why not 67... d5 ? This can possibly make this game a draw.

Nov-24-04		InspiredByMorphy: <Knight> 67. ...d5 seems to allow whites rook to get more active than it already is. 67. ...d5 68.Rf6 threatens 69.Rf5 and I fail to see a move which black can play at this point to prevent it. Great game!

Nov-24-04		Knight13: <InspiredByMorphy> 67... d5 68. Rf6 Re4 69. Rf5 Rd4 70. Rxg5 Rd1 71. Ke2! would happen. So I think my suggestion 67... d5? is not a good idea.

Sep-06-05		sneaky pete: Second matchgame with mutual poor play from beginning to end. White could have shortened the agony by playing 42.Nc7 .. winnning the exchange and the game. As our star analyst <mousie> noted, with 67... d5 black could still have saved the game. If 68.Rf6 d4 69.Rf5 Re3+ 70.Kf2 Kh6 (71.Rd5 Re4 72.Kf3 Re3+) and if 68.Rd6 Kg7 and in both cases, with his king under lock and key, white can not make any progress.

Jul-15-11		Articcircle: Nalimovs tablebases say that 83... Ra5!? was a better defending move.
