  suenteus po 147: <iron maiden> This game appears to be a serious omission from one of your best game collections.
Feb-12-07  iron maiden: <suenteus po 147> Thanks. Interesting that after 63. Rh2, Black has a choice of two winning zugzwang moves, the text-move and ...Rf2.
Feb-12-07  ounos: I was trying to understand why White didn't play 39. QxR, in anticipation of 39 ... c2 40. QxB Qd1 41. Rb3, where White is safe. 39. ... Bd7 won't help much, as perpetuel check is looming after 40. Qd8.

But there is a rather unique queen trapping move, 39. ... Qd7, that ends abruptly the game, as White after the exchange cannot stop the pawns, even with an extra rook. Nice resource.
