Jul-28-04		molinov: What would happen after 18... g6 19 Qb1 Qa3+ 20.Qb2 Nd3+?

Jul-29-04		tpstar: <molinov> Excellent! That's a clear winning line for Black, suggesting that the game score is correct but the given result is incorrect = should be 0-1 instead.

Jul-30-04		molinov: Chessgames: Why did you change the score? In chessbase.com database the game is annotated as a draw after Kc1. Maybe White has got a chance with 19. Rh3 Rfe8 20.Rg3 Kf8. And here I don't see anything clear for white. Perhaps 21.Bg7+ Kxg7 22.h5 And here White can grab a draw because the King can't go back to f8 because of 23.hxg6 hxg6 24. Rxg6.

Jul-30-04		molinov: Correction: not h5??? but simply bxc4 winning. I overlooked the most simple move. Maybe there's still an obvious move that I am not aware of.

Jul-30-04		chessgames.com: Somebody made a correction form saying that this game was probably won by black, and one of the administrators noticed that there used to be a duplicate of this game listed as 0-1. However, both Chessbase and New in Chess have it as 1/2-1/2. In retrospect we are going to leave this game as it stands unless anybody can unearth a credible source that contradicts this result.

Jul-30-04		crafty: 18. ... a3+ 19. b1 g6 20. h3 xc3 21. dxe5 dxc4 (eval -5.24; depth 13 ply; 1000M nodes)

Jul-30-04		chesscookie: isnt 18..e4 winning? There isn o way white can stop Qc2 after that

Jul-30-04		molinov: I think e4 wouldn't work because of cxb4. I have never seen a drawn game at a point in which they are still so many possibilities.
