Jan-20-12		Cardinal Fang: Anything but ...Kb8 allows Ra8#; anything but ...Kc8 allows Qa8#. A beautiful and rare example of semi-perpetual check.

Jan-20-12		OhioChessFan: Semi-perpetual check. I saw the comment in recent kibtizing and was wondering exactly what that was. I think it's an accurate term.

Jan-20-12		Phony Benoni: If Black were really gung-ho about playing on, he could try <26...Qf5>: click for larger view Now if 27.Qxf5+ Kb8 White's queen can't get back to the a-file immediately, and if 28.Qxe5+ Bd6 avoids the perpetual. The material is more or less equal, but White's initiative and the Monster That Occupied b6 makes the whole idea a bit too crazy.

Jan-21-12		Calli: <Now if 27.Qxf5+ Kb8 White's queen can't get back to the a-file> But then 28.Nc4 and Black is toast. i.e. 28...Bd6 29.Nxd6 Rxd6 30.Qxe5 Rhd8 31.Rd1
