Aug-29-04		Knight13: Pretty good draw position.

Aug-30-04		Chessical: Erkel takes the draw with <38...Kd2>, but he could try for more with <38...Kb4>. Of course, there will inevitably be improvements to the following rough line of analysis, but the Q+N v Q+P endgame is interesting. The N on c1 needs to be brought back to life with the minimum of tempi. <39.a4> Nc4 40.Kd4 Nb6 41.Be2 Nxa4 42.Bxh5 Nc5 43.Bxf7 a4 44.Ba2 Nb3+ 45.Kd5 Nc1 46.Bb1 a3 47.Ke6 Kc3 48.Kxf6 Kb2 49.Ke6 Kxb1 50.f6 a2 51.f7 a1Q 52.f8Q Qa2+
