Apr-05-05  mack: Well would you look at this - Kramnik playing Owen's Defence.
Jan-13-06  aragorn69: Why not 29.dxc6, simply??
Jan-13-06  Shams: aragorn, I think after 29.dxc6 Nc5 white can't hang on to the c-pawn.
Jan-13-06  aragorn69: That could be true, <Shams> although it's not cristal clear to me yet. BTW sorry for the numeration mistake. After <26.>dxc6 Nc5, how about 27.Ba2 intending things like Bd5 or Rb1 ?
Jan-15-06  Shams: <aragorn69> 27.Ba2 Nd3 :)
Jan-16-06  aragorn69: Ooops. Right, how about 27.Bf5, then ?!...
Anyways, you're right: 26.-Nc5 is one good find. ;-)

  Mateo: There are hidden beauties in this endgame. 36...♗b5? allows White to reach a drawn position, as we will see. What else?

1) 36...f5 37.♗f3 ♖xf4 38.♖e7 ♗a4 39.♖e6 is equal, as White wins back the d pawn.

2) 36...♔f8! (preparing f5 without allowing ♖e7) 37.♔g3 (37.♖e1 f5 followed by ♖xf4) ♗c8-b7, Black wins a pawn.

After 36...♗b5, White has, instead of 37.♔g3?, 37.♖e1! (getting an equal game since the King reach e3) ♗c4?? (37...f5 38.♗f3 ♖xf4 39.♖e6 is equal) 38.♔e3, White wins.
