  An Englishman: Good Afternoon: Does anyone see how White can stop ...Rb8-b4xd4?
Jul-04-09  Knight13: <An Englishman> No.

  acirce: It's just a dead draw now.
Jul-04-09  Knight13: <What many people don't know is that he tried to pass legislation abolishing slavery in his state, and was defeated (this, before the official abolition of slavery).> Yeah you saw my response. Cg.com deleted it for its own good.

But it still doesn't disaprove the fact that Jefferson was blah blah blah (can't say it due to the possibility of being deleted again).

Anyway White can't stop it because if Re1-e4 then there's back rank problems.

  waustad: For some reason, political ramblings seem to have migrated to Kenneth Rogoff's page.
Jul-04-09  Knight13: Why is this game still being played? Does Naiditsch see something?
Jul-04-09  malthrope: <SCUBA diver: This is chess not politics.>

Agreed <SCUBA diver> :)

Since this a 'live' game being featured here today I'm surprised that <chessgames.com> has not come forward and mention to keep the subject matter "On Topic" and deal mainly with the Chess game at hand... It's not that hard to do! ;)

Jul-04-09  Knight13: <waustad: For some reason, political ramblings seem to have migrated to Kenneth Rogoff's page.> Dude that wasn't politics. That was textbook history lesson!
Jul-04-09  Knight13: K I see something like ...Rb4 Re8+ Kf7 Rd8 but White has back rank problems!

So let's go with ...Rb4 Rd7 Rdxd4 Re8#.

There, no wonder why White's got play left.

Told you ...h6 needed to be played sometime!

Jul-04-09  Knight13: <27...Rbb2> K Leko's not taking any chances whatsoever.
Jul-04-09  Knight13: 28...Kf8 should do the job.
Jul-04-09  Mateo: As everyone noticed, 28...Rxf2 is not the best move for Leko.
Jul-04-09  Knight13: ...h5 K that prevents mating net somewhat.

  OhioChessFan: h6 or h5 maybe?
Jul-04-09  Knight13: <Mateo: As everyone noticed, 28...Rxf2 is not the best move for Leko.> Yeah. Checkmate.

Greatest oversight in years, it would result in.

  outplayer: Now Leko can double the rooks on the d-file and capture the pawn.

  Nimzonick: I've heard that David Bronstein really liked endgames of rook and 4 pawns vs rook and 3
