Sep-11-09		King.Arthur.Brazil: I guess black colud prepare d5 with Ta-d8 first. White treval with his Ns, but his QS don't exist! Maybe: Bd2 and b3-a4 or b3-c4. 19.Nh2 is lose of time. 23...Qc4 force to exchange of Qs (h4 is falling) adn Nc4 with time! On move 34 black had better pos. White seems weak but even after 41.Kd1 black has not such winning pos. 47.f3! the only strong reply of white, he colud follow with Ne1, not the fxe4. After 49..Kd4 50.Kd2 a)Ke4-51.Ke2 b)kc4-51.Kc2 Maybe draw. White mis calculated and after 54.Nxa6, his N had no scape.
