Aug-28-08		chancho: How does Benko (a great endgame player) win from the final position?

Aug-28-08		AnalyzeThis: White can force the pawn to e7. Right? The knight goes to d4 to achieve this. Black's king can't come over to help because the a pawn will drop and the c pawn not long after. Something like 61...Bd5 62. Nd4 Bc4 63. e6 Bd5 64. e7 Bf7 65. Ne6 Ka7 66. Ng7 followed by queening, and black gives up the bishop. Are there other methods?
