Dec-22-04		Pawsome: Did white lose on time? 1. Nc3 Qxb4+ 2. Kh1 Qf3+ 3. Kg1 Qe3+ 4. Kh1 0-0 5. Qc6 Qe5 6. Qg2 Rd1 7. Rg1 Bf5 8. Rf1 Rb1 9. a4 for example, and white holds on.

Dec-23-04		Cyphelium: <Pawsome> White might have lost on time, but he does have some tricky problems to solve. After 23. c3 xg4+ 24. h1 d2 25. c6 h5, I think it's hard for white to parry the threat of h3, for example 26. g1 h3 27. g2 xg2 28. xg2 b7 29. d5 xd5 30. xd5 f1 mate or 26. e4 h3 27. e2 b7 28. xb7 xe2 .

Dec-24-04		Pawsome: <Cyphelium>You're right. I think white can squirm out with 26. e6 Qh3 27. exf7+ Kf7 28. Qc4+ Kg6 29. Rg1+ Kh7 30. Qe4+ Bf5 31. Qf4 Rc2 32. Qf3 Qg3 33. Rg3 Rb2 34. Re3, but he'll probably lose the ending anyway. I'm sure I'm missing a sharp tactical shot in the above. I suppose one of those silicon marvels could show us the way. Still, Martin of the Country should have dooked it out. Happy winter solstice and a Merry Humbug too!
