Oct-11-05		DAL9000: From move 35 on, why is the Nb6 verboten? I just don't see what happens if White takes it.

Oct-11-05		Runemaster: <DAL> If 35.cxb6 Nxc1+. I agree, though, that it's not clear why not 37.cxb6. There might be something wrong with the score of the game. Or we might both be missing something.

Oct-11-05		chessgames.com: Look again. The answer was found in the alternate game score we had on file.

Oct-11-05		Runemaster: <chessgames.com:> The score has been corrected now, hasn't it? With Black having doubled rooks on the 'c' file, if 37.cxb6 Rxc2. In the game score as it was before, the second Black rook was on e8 not c8. I thought I was seeing things for a moment there. Thanks, <CG.com>.
