Jul-13-07		Billy Ray Valentine: If black does not blunder with his final move, can he survive?

Jul-13-07		danielpi: <Karpova><59.Kh3 h6 60.Re8+ Rxe8 61.Qxe8+ Kh7 62.Ng5#> Huh? What about 62...hxg5?

Jul-13-07		Karpova: 59.Kh3 Rg8 60.Re6 with 61.Ng5 and then Rh6 looks pretty ugly for black (i.e. 60...Qb4 61.Ng5 Qb3 62.Qxb3 Rxb3+ 63.Kh4 (the nice Bd4 covers b6 and b2). 59.Kh3 h6 60.Re6 works also (i.e. 60...Qf8 61.Rxh6+ Kg8 62.Qe6 Rf7 63.Rg6) 59.Kh3 Qf8 60.f6

Jul-13-07		Billy Ray Valentine: THanks for the responses... Karpov's pieces seem to coordinate really well at the end. But then again, he seemed to be good at that...

But then again, he seemed to be good at that...> An understatement to be sure! <Karpova> You know if you want to post a correction, it'd be more polite if you didn't delete your original post, so you don't make me (or anyone else) look like I'm responding to a ghost.
