Oct-26-09		keypusher: This was a consultation game played at an August 15 reception for the players between the 8th and 9th rounds. Pillsbury and Blackburne were White and Chigorin and Schiffers were Black.

Oct-26-09		Shams: 30.Be4 and what am I missing?

Oct-27-09		An Englishman: Good Evening: <Shams>, it's probably one typo among many--30...R8f5 looks just as bad.

Oct-27-09		Shams: Maybe it was 30.Bc4

Oct-27-09		Calli: <Shams> Actual move was 30.Bc4

Oct-27-09		tonsillolith: Doesn't <39. Rf8+> either win the rook or allow the pawn to queen?

Oct-27-09		keypusher: <tonsillolith> Yes, and e6-e7 a few moves earlier would have been crushing. If I have time I'll check the tournament book score, maybe there are more mistakes than the one <Calli> noted.

Oct-29-09		Calli: correct score is 30.Bc4 R8f5 31.Bxd5 exd5 32.Rb5 Rxg5 33.Rxd5 Rg2 34.e6 Rfxf2 35.Rd8+ Kh7 36.Rxh4+ Kg6 37.Rg4+ Kf6 38.Rxg2 Rxg2 39.d5 Rc2 40.Rf8+ Ke7 41.Rf7+ Kd8 42.Rd7+ Kc8 43.Rxg7 Kd8 44.Rg3 Rxa2 45.Rg8+ Ke7 46.Rc8 Ra7 47.Ke2 c5 48.Kd3 "and wins" indicating some unrecorded moves.
