Dec-09-04		Knight13: Black is hopeless after the move 34. Good use of Bird's Opening. The Bishop at b2 is well placed. I suggest 31... Rc7.

Dec-09-04		akiba82: <Knight13> If both rooks can play to c7 you need to distinguish which rook you mean. Either Rcc7 or Rdc7 in this example.

Dec-09-04		Knight13: <akiba82> Oh yeah I forgot. 31... Rcc7 was my suggestion.

Dec-10-04		beatgiant: <Knight13>: <31... Rcc7 was my suggestion.> After this, 32. a3 with the threat of 33. dxe6 fxe6 34. f8+! xf8 35. xf8+ h7 36. d6 , looks powerful. To stop this attack, Black may have to give up the exchange with 32. a3 exd5 33. cxd5 xd5 34. d6 xd6 . I'm not sure of the outcome.

Dec-10-04		drukenknight: there seems to be a problem with that pawn getting to the sixth rank, another recurring theme. I think you are onto the right problem move.

Dec-10-04		drukenknight: I think its lost by that pt. The blunder comes right before 28...exd5 was obviously better. But what about on move 29...Ng5? is that more challenging?

Dec-10-04		beatgiant: <drukenknight>: <But what about on move 29...Ng5? is that more challenging?> Not sure. White's idea must be to try to rip the dark squares around Black's king with 30. xg5 hxg5 and eventual b2-c1-xg5 followed by h6 . It probably starts something like 29...g5 30. xg5 hxg5 31. df1 c7 32. d6 with 33. c1 next.
