May-04-07		Autoreparaturwerkbau: Queen looks poor here, but what's the finish?

May-04-07		WannaBe: Think I'd play 52. Rc7 to pick off the pawn, the queen can't protect the c4 black pawn.

May-04-07		Autoreparaturwerkbau: Yep... I suppose that's the easiest way to win the game. Thanks.

May-04-07		Chicago Chess Man: It's hard to play this position out in your mind, but I feel like winning the c4 pawn is a waste of time. I think 52. Ke6! does the trick, creating mating threats against black's king.

May-04-07		WannaBe: <Chicago Chess Man> Shredder agrees! My Rc7 is only the 5th choice. 1. (11.04): 52.Ke6 Qg2 53.Rg7 Qxg7 54.Bxg7 Kd8 55.Kd5 Kc7 56.Be5+ Kd7 57.Kc5 2. (5.38): 52.Bd6 Qg2+ 53.Kc5 Qg5+ 54.Kc6 Qg2+ 55.Kb6 Qg1 56.Re7+ Kd8 57.Kc6 Qg2+ 58.Kc5 Qg1 3. (5.38): 52.Kd6 Qf8+ 53.Kc6 Qf1 54.Bd6 Qg2+ 55.Kb6 Qg1 56.Re7+ Kd8 57.Kc6 Qg2+ 58.Kc5 Qg1 4. (5.38): 52.Kc5 Qc1 53.Kxc4 5. (5.33): 52.Rc7 Qh3 53.Bd6 Qg2+ 54.Kc5 Qg5+ 55.Kxc4 Qg8+ 56.Kc5 Qg5+ 57.Kc6 Qg2+ 58.Kb6 Qd5 59.Re7+ Kf8 60.Nf5 Kg8 61.Be5 Qc4 62.Rg7+ Kf8

May-09-07		Autoreparaturwerkbau: Sheesh, 52.Ke6 is more than enough to win easily here. Queen can't answer the mating threat (52...Qh3+? 53.Nf5 and it's all over). c4 pawn may rest in peace.
