Mar-31-11		wordfunph: Przepiorka - Marshall after 29...Kh4 click for larger view 30.e5? better plan would be 30.Kg2 Kg4 31.f3+ protecting the e and h pawns.

Mar-31-11		pjohnsontennis: 30.Kg2 does keep white alive a little longer, but eventually black will get a passed pawn on the A file, and white king can`t guard both wings.

Mar-31-11		pjohnsontennis: To get that passed pawn, there looks like some cool stuff happens: 30.Kg2 Kg4 31.f3+ Kf4 32.Kf2 c5 33.Ke2 a5 34.Kf2 g6 35.Ke2 f5 36.exf5 gxf5 37.Kf2 and now... 37... c4 and if 38a.bxc4 b4! and black can catch white`s c pawn while white`s king must head over to guard a pawn. Then white king can come back to gobble white`s f pawn black`s f pawn will queen. or white can wait and not capture by playing 38b.Ke2 but then 38b....c3! wins for black: 39b.bxc3 a4 40.bxa4 bxa4 and now white king must go over to catch the passed a pawn, while black`s king can again gobble white`s f pawn while still catching white`s passed c pawn, and again black`s f pawn queens. What did I miss?
