Feb-19-09		whiteshark: Maybe a bit premature to resign, but Black is lost anyway. Threat is Be2-d1xb3 which lead to a passed a-pawn.

Feb-25-09		Domdaniel: Not premature at all: White just mops up from here. The pawn ending is an easy win, so black must avoid the bishop trade. Meanwhile white retains one - or two - a-pawns, while the king penetrates to pick off the f-pawn. And black can do nothing about it.
