Aug-08-04		offramp: From 40...Rc1+ to 56...Rc1+ must be one of the weirdest episodes of play in Grandmaster chess. It's like Asteroids where you don't blow up the last rock and keep waiting for the 1000-point spaceships.

Aug-18-05		LIFE Master AJ: An interesting chess game ... apprently the ending is one that has stirred some disagreement among the experts.

Aug-18-05		LIFE Master AJ: 65...Bf7+? was an error. Several endgame experts have analyzed this ending in books and magazines ... and even come to opposite conclusions! Correct was: 65...Bb1! Now one 'expert' says the best practical chances for Black lie in the line 66.Bd3!? Ba2+!; 67.Kc5. Now Averbakh only gives 67...Kf4!?; 68.Kd4, Kg3; as winning for Black. Cheron discovered that Black probably draws with 68.Kd6! Probably best us 67...f5!; when IM Mark Dvoretsky gives a very long analysis ... and concludes that Black should win. (See Chapter Six, page # 111 of D's "Endgame Manual," which was published in 2003.)

Dec-14-05		beatgiant: <offramp> < If White had played 75.Bb5 How does Black then win?> Good point, it is a Nalimov tablebase draw after 75. Bb5! Kxg2 76. Kf4, and also after, say, 75. Bb5 Bc8 76. Bc6 Ba6 77. Bd5 Bf1 78. Bc6 Bxg2 79. Bd7, etc. I was not able to find any win.

Mar-16-06		waddayaplay: Pachman gives 75.Bb5 as a draw. He also notes that 72.fxg! fxg 73.Ke3! would draw because if black takes the h-pawn, white exchanges bishops and the lone h-pawn can't win

Jul-27-08		4tmac: Starting with <offramp> diagram after WHITES 75. B-b5! and continuing with <beatgiant> 75. ... KxP 76. K-f4!! gains a tempo by attacking the bishop & draws vs. other lines. Say black plays 76. ... B-c8 (black must stay on this diagonal or white plays B-d7) click for larger view White draws by 77. B-c6+! K-f2 78. B-b7!! B-e6(say) 79. B-d5!! BxB 80. K-g4!

Jul-27-08		Boomie: After 74...Bxg4: click for larger view Tablebase draw after any bishop move except Be2.
