Jun-15-06		bernardchinshin: Why did Black resign?

Jun-15-06		borisbadenoff: Black is down 2 pieces for 2 pawns? And the positon is pretty bad for black

Jun-15-06		tpstar: 1) 22. Kb3 Qc5 23. Qd2 (23. Qe3 Ra3+; 23. Rd2 Qc3#) Ra3+ 24. Kb2 b3 intending 25 ... Ra2+ (25. Qb4 Qc2+ 26. Kxa3 Qa2#). 2) 22. Kb2 Qc5 23. Qd2 (23. Qe3 Qc2#; 23. Rd2 Qc3#) Qa5 24. Kb3 (24. Qc1 Qa3#; Q/Rxb4 Qa1#) Qa3+ 25. Kc4 b3 intending 26 ... Ra4+ 27. Kb5 Bd7# (26. Qb4 Qc1+).

Jun-15-06		tpstar: Hole in the second line - after 22. Kb2 Qc5 23. Qd2 Qa5 then 24. Qxb4 Qa2+ 25. Kc1/Kc3 Qc2#, or 24. Rxb4 Qa3#, but checking on a1 isn't mate because b3 is open.

Jun-10-08		Kareem: bernardchinshin & borisbadenoff Black won, inspite of material deficiency. See tpstar nice analysis.
