Aug-02-08		wanabe2000: Nice endgame prowess by Pia.

Aug-02-08		Udit Narayan: 38...Rb4+ seems an interesting alternative.

Aug-03-08		Blackreptile: Could a specialist of rook endings confirm me: the position isn't it a draw at for instance move 40? What a deception for Stefanova who won the tournament if she could draw this game!

Aug-03-08		percyblakeney: <the position isn't it a draw at for instance move 40? What a deception for Stefanova who won the tournament if she could draw this game!> It's a draw until the 84th move, where Stefanova would have kept it drawn with Ra6 and there's no progress for white. On the other hand Stefanova won from a lost position against Sebag, and secured first with a short draw in the last round, so this mistake didn't turn out to be too costly.

Feb-18-09		GrahamClayton: <percyblakeney>It's a draw until the 84th move, where Stefanova would have kept it drawn with Ra6 and there's no progress for white. <percyblakeney>, As you mentioned, Stefanova could have drawn with 84..a6, eg 85.d8 f5 86. e7 g6 87.e8 a8+ 88.d7 a6 89.e6 fe6 90.e6 a7+
