Jul-23-04		Honza Cervenka: Ladies did not play bad chess back in 1950s. Chantal's 43.f5 is a great shot which starts a pretty final. 34...e5 seems to be worth of consideration.

Aug-16-07		vonKrolock: <34...g6> For fear of h5 - 34...e5 as suggested above by Cervenka, could lead to 35.h5 h6 36.gxh6 g6 37.h4 f6 or to take in 'e5' - unless the counter blow 37...g6-g5!? is now effective, white is winning But 43...<xa3> is a bit rash - first 43...d6!, with idea of eventual f5 to start a sound defense

Aug-16-07		vonKrolock: <34...e5 35.Qh5 h6?> But <The King (comp)> suggest 35...Qf5!! after pondering 0.00 seconds over the position

Aug-16-07		Honza Cervenka: After 34...e5 (attacking Rh3) move 35.Qh5 is almost forced (35.Rh4 exd4 36.Qd3 f5 stops white's activity and black counter-attack would prevail quickly) and after 35...Qf5 (covering h7, attacking the Rook on c2 and threatening also exd4 with opening of e-file) white has no better choice than 36. g6 with trade of Queens and advantage of black, for example 36. g6 Qxh5 37. Rxh5 fxg6 38. Rg5 h6 39. Rxg6 exf4 40. Bxf4 Re1+ 41. Kf2 Ra1 etc.

Mar-09-08		whiteshark: <vonKrolock:> Quite a challenging position after <42.Re2> click for larger view worth to have a deeper look at it. After <42...Nd6 43.Qe1 Nf5 44.Rb2 Rb8 45.Qe5+ Kg8 46.Rxb5 Rxb5 47.47.Qxb5> click for larger view and now 47...Rb7 or 47...Nxd4 to be continued...

Mar-10-08		vonKrolock: <whiteshark> I'm seeing... The belongs to 'f5' - then black's position is quite tenable ... (keep the good work)
