Nov-30-02		morphynoman2: Please, take a look on the astonishing 40th black move (!!)

Dec-01-02		pawntificator: White looks better after 41 Rxe1 Rxg3+ 42 Ke4 RxQ 43 KxQ I'm probably missing some tactical shot in there somewhere.

Dec-02-02		drukenknight: I think its prett straightforward he wants to sack the R and gets as many pawns for him as possible. So maybe he gets only 3, he's up by one connected pawn at this pt. anyhow; so.... He's coming up on time control as well. The question is where is black going to find his passed pawn? Where to break through?

Feb-13-05		fgh: 40. ... Qe1 41. Rxe1 Rxg3 42. Ke4?? f5!+ 43. exf6 Nf6# mate.

Aug-15-09		GrahamClayton: What does Black play after 40...e1 41.e1 g3+ 42.e2 ?

Aug-15-09		Phony Benoni: <GrahamClayton> After 40...e1 41.xe1 xg3+ 42.e2, Black regains the queen with 42...xf4+.
