Jun-06-06  acirce: Shouldn't Black have played 47..Rc4 immediately? How does he win after 47..Rd4+ 48.Ke1 ?

He simply won't I think. After e1 it should be theoretical draw but only with super accurate play.

Why didn't white play 20. Rxc6 f4 21. Rxc7 and white clearly better

Jun-07-06  Mendrys: Gotta love the counter sac on move 19. White offers the exchange and black sacs a whole piece. It's all forced. After 19....hxg3 20. exf4 mate on the h file is unavoidable for black.

White would still be very uncomfortable after 20. Rxc6 f4 21 Rxc7 Bf5
