Nov-16-05		Poisonpawns: How does Karpov draw this game! or How does Yusupov not win! This is one of the most amazing endgames because Karpov has to play perfect not to lose and he does.All endings draw,unless someone can show a win :-) ex: 43..Rxh2 44.d7 Kxd7 45.f7 A1Q 46.Rxa1 Ke7 47.Ra7+ Kf8 48.Ra3 Kxf7 49.Rxe3 =

Dec-21-06		DytnTD: I wonder if ... Rxh2 might be played a move earlier 42.... Rxh2 instead of 42.... Ke6 and White cannot play d7. Instead we might have 43.f7 Rf2 44.f8/Q Rxf8 45.Rxa2 and the game is still drawn as Black's King is too far away to support e3.

Jan-26-07		ALEXIN: Was for example 41.Rb2 winning for black ? It seems not to be because 42.f6 ! is enough. Seems not easy for black to win. White side has 2 passed pawns too.
