Jul-23-05		Orbitkind: Lol, I can't believe how long black played on for; a rook against 2 rooks and 4 pawns? ; )

Jul-23-05		aw1988: He should have continued playing so White could promote the two pawns. ;)

Jul-23-05		TheSlid: One imagines black looking up after white's 45th move and saying "Ooo, I didn't know you could do that! Pity I don't seem to have any pawns left..."

Jul-23-05		chancho: Look at the ratings!I understand Heisman is a Master now, but not then. Why is this game even in the database?

Jul-23-05		tpstar: Dan Heisman is a noted author and instructor, important enough to be listed on their home page. He submitted several annotated games so we could learn from them. 17. Bc5! is a nice Discovery tactic which wins material. Yet less experienced players sometimes forget that pieces can retreat; after 18 ... Re7 Black only loses the exchange. Yes, Black played on too long. Or maybe White should have found a quicker winning method. =)

Jul-23-05		chancho: <Tpstar> I agree that Heisman is a respected Author. I have his book,"Elements of Positional Evaluation". I'm sure he has some Master games in here also.I have to say though, it is rather unusual for a Master to submit a low rated game, even if the tactic in the game was a good one.I am not trying to be offensive. If you guys get that impression, then my apologies.
