Jul-26-07		wanabe2000: Interesting try with 57.Kg5 but Korchnoi, by using the King's opposition, holds the draw.

Aug-03-07		Peter Johnson Ng: The white King is trapped. Ha Ha!

Aug-03-07		OneArmedScissor: This is a great game.

Aug-03-07		ztnepres: did white have to sac his bishope? couldnt he have pushed his a pawn

May-21-09		kevin86: A remarkable ending:black's king can hem in the white king while the bishop can hold back two pawns while the kings (plural) can hold back the other two.

May-21-09		shalgo: A fascinating endgame. I have been trying to find improvements for White. In particular, I think that 59.g5! wins. This move keeps the White king in the game and positions it to support the advance of the f-pawn. For example: 59...c8 60.f4+ e6 61.g6 e7 62.f5. I don't see how Black can hold back all of the White pawns. If Black sends his king over to the c-pawn, then White can win as follows: 59...d7 60.f4+ d6 61.xh5 xc7 62.g5 d6 63.f6.
