Oct-20-06		tpstar: Black was 2 Pawns down as of 30. Qe5+ but 30 ... Bd6?! hastened his demise starting with the cross-pin 31. Rd3. Even here trading Queens with 31 ... Bxe5 32. Rxd8+ Kc7 33. Rd3 gives Black some swindling chances. Yet 31 ... Qf8? lost to 32. Rxd6! Rxd6 (32 ... Qxd6 33. Qe8+ Kc7 34. Nb5+) 33. Ne4 and White traded down to a won K&P endgame.

Nov-12-06		tpstar: 33. Ne4 is an easy win, yet 33. Nb5 is even better, preventing 33 ... Kc7 so White wins the Rd6 outright.
