Dec-08-04		mjk: White can hold the draw by improving on 64.d3? <Nalimov>

Jan-24-05		Jack Rabbit: <Rook v. Two Connected Pawns> from <59 Kxa8> The advanced g-Pawn wins. If White were to play <64 Rxh4> then Black just keeps going with <64 -- g7> and the Pawn cannot be stopped. This is an instance where the fact one of the Pawns is a Rook Pawn is not a factor. In this case, Black did not have to maneuver around it.

Sep-11-06		mjk: But <Jack Rabbit>, 64.b8 g2 65.f8+ draws, e.g. 65...g3 e4 66.h2 h5 67.g8 f2 68.f8+ e1 69.g8 h3 70.f3 f1 71.a8 g1 72.g3 h1 73.a1+ g1=+ 74.xg1 xg1 75.xh3

Jun-07-07		einneu: white has an easy draw with 58.Rc5! Kg6 (if g3 then a8=Q and the "g" pawn will fall) 59.Rc8 Rf7+ 60.Rc7 Rf8= In moves 62,63 and even 64 white saves the day with Rb8! 64.Rxh4 loses because after 64...g2 65.Rh8 (threatening Rf8+ and Rg8) the pawn promotes at g1 with check.
