Feb-19-05		Whitehat1963: A cool puzzle after 22...Rae8. But I wonder what Crafty would prescribe from there. A complicated, puzzle-like finish.

Apr-14-06		twinlark: <Whitehat1963> It's more complex than it looks alright. I'll kick off with: 24...f4 harassing the White Queen, discoordinating the White pieces, and opening the b1-h7 diagonal for Black's Bishop as maybe saving the day for Black, eg: 25.Bxf4 Qxf6 25. Qxf4 Ne6 25. Rxf4 Ne6 25. Qh3 Re6 26.g3 Bf5 In this last line if 25...Bf5 immediately then 26.g4 fxg3 27.Qxg3 Be4+ 28.Kg1 (28. Nxe4 Rxe4 29.Rxe4 Qxe4) h5 and 29.Nxd8 may be all that White has.

Apr-14-06		twinlark: Though it looks like White's best bet after 24....f4 may be the Qxf4 line: 25....Ne6 26.Rxh7+ Qxh7 27.Nxh7 Nxf4 28.Nxf8 with Black being a pawn up in a R+opposite coloured Bishop ending.

Apr-14-06		twinlark: There are a few other variations (including one starting with 24.Nxd8) but there's no doubt Black's 24...h5?? loses instantly.

Oct-16-08		just a kid: <twinlark>Good analysis.I dropped a suggestion if <Crafty could find a better move 24 for black.

Oct-17-08		just a kid: <zanshin> left some Rybka analysis down in crafty chessforum

Jan-01-09		WhiteRook48: ...h5?? what a blunder

Mar-24-09		crafty: 24. h4 f4 25. xf4 e6 26. xh7 xf4 27. xf8+ h5 (eval -0.91; depth 18 ply; 2000M nodes)

Mar-24-09		beatgiant: <crafty> On 24...f4 <25. Qh3>, at first glance Black appears to be in dire straits. What am I missing?

May-02-09		just a kid: <Zanshin's> computer analysis confirms Crafty's analysis [-1.29] d=19 24...f4 25.Qg4 Bf5 26.Qxf4 Ne6 27.Qe5 Nxg5 28.Nxe8 f6 29.Nxf6 Qxf6 30.Qxf6 Rxf6 31.Rxc4 Ne6 32.Rf1 Kg7 33.Kg1 a6 34.Rh4 Kf7 35.b4 Kg7 36.a4 Kf7 (0:32.19)
