Nov-28-07    popski: Great game with a great finish! Nov-28-07    OneArmedScissor: <popski> Agreed! Aug-07-09    returnoftheking: It's funny that the same distribution of material arose in the other game of this mini match-Karjakin 3 pawns+R+B and Zhang 4 pawns +R+B. Karjakin saved that one. Aug-07-09    kurtrichards: What can a single rook do compared to the rampaging white's e and f pawns aided by the king and bishop. 1-0
