Sep-21-06		notyetagm: 34 g6! Black f7-pawn <BLOCKS> f-file, Black h7-pawn <BLOCKS> h-file, so who defends the g6-square? Nobody. The Black f7-pawn must stay on the f-file to <BLOCK> the f-file, while the Black h7-pawn must stay on the h-file to <BLOCK> the h-file. Therefore neither the Black f7-pawn nor h7-pawn actually <DEFENDS> the g6-square, so 34 g6!. After 34 g6! Black has only a desperate attempt at a perpetual, which fails.

Jul-23-07		notyetagm: 34 g5-g6! is a brilliant example that <BLOCKING A LINE IS A FULL-TIME JOB>.
