Can't Black win a pawn and keep his attack? I would suggest you run your engine from the above diagram. Speaking of engines this is from chessok:

<31...hxg4 32.Rxg4 Qh2+ 33.Rg2 Qd6 34.Ke2 Re5 35.h4 Rb5 36.Qc3 g6 37.b3 Rybka Aquarium (0:00.44) -0.67|d14 black stands slightly better>

31...hxg4 32.hxg4 g5 33.Rd4 Qh2+ 34.Ke1 (34.Kf1 Re6) 34...Qg3+ 35.Kd1 Rxe3

I don't think so; it's still a hard game. And black might end up losing if he's not careful.

How is that any relevant? There is an objective evaluation of the position which does not depend on me playing anyone else.

<Knight13: I don't think so; it's still a hard game. And black might end up losing if he's not careful.>

Yes, you might have a winning position and you might lose due to a mistake. It has happened, even to world champions.

<Knight13: Leko psychologically wanted a draw, and he got one. Doesn't matter what a computer thinks; they weren't using a damn computer and actually used their head.>

Leko's a <thinking> human, not a computer using lazy brain-dead idiot (like some people on CG.com) who rely on engines to criticize top-level players on what they missed instead of trying to find it themselves (they don't even post an incorrect suggestion or something logical that's wrong that indicates they used their head to think instead of relying on an "answer key"[computer]).

Are you being intentionally thick? First of all by your logic in almost every position both sides have chances. Next I did not say "undisputed win" I said that Black's "advantage" was undisputed and that the win was a matter of technique. Third, everyone knows this is not advanced chess so quit repeating that they don't have access to computers. To sum it up your version of events is as follows:

"Leko has roughly 15 minutes for 9 moves, Chucky has less than 2. Leko sees 31...hxg4 gives him a superior position where White's defense is, to say the least, difficult (not to mention the clock situation) but he instead forces a draw with 31...g5."

Which is nuts. The simpler more plausible version is that Leko blundered, it happens, heck Kramnik did not see mate in one.

<First of all by your logic in almost every position both sides have chances.> No, I did not. I said in the diagramed position it's not a clear win for black, so I mentioned that it's not an "undisputed" win.

<Third, everyone knows this is not advanced chess so quit repeating that they don't have access to computers. > And what I meant is that idiots like you (oh you say my posts are "moronic" and expect me to be nice? can't pick a better word? k then I won't bother to either) use computers to cricitize top players like Leko instead of using your brain. How many of you would actually see ...hxg4 leads to an "undisputed advantage" for black? OOPS, probably ZERO.

<"Leko has roughly 15 minutes for 9 moves, Chucky has less than 2. Leko sees 31...hxg4 gives him a superior position where White's defense is, to say the least, difficult (not to mention the clock situation) but he instead forces a draw with 31...g5." > And you didn't get my point AGAIN. I merely pointed out that Leko probably went for a draw because he wanted one (and I don't know if your 15 minute - 2 minute ratio is correct) with ...g5.

(1) For the second time, I said that win was "a matter of technique" and that the "advantage" was undisputed. So read carefully before posting.

(2) < I merely pointed out that Leko probably went for a draw because he wanted one (and I don't know if your 15 minute - 2 minute ratio is correct) with ...g5.> My point was that under those circumstances he must have been out of his mind to go for a draw. The very least he could do is to see if Chucky blunders under time pressure then offer a draw if Chucky reached time control without any big mistakes. And I am pretty sure about the clock situation. Leko had more than 10 minutes and Chucky had less than 2.

(3) In my first post I claimed that Leko blundered without any reference to engines, later I said that engines were not correctly evaluating the position resulting from 31...hxg4. So your statement that <idiots like you use computers to cricitize top players like Leko instead of using your brain.> is just total nonsense.

(4) <How many of you would actually see ...hxg4 leads to an "undisputed advantage" for black? OOPS, probably ZERO.> how is that even relevant to analyzing the game? I can't criticize any move that Leko plays because he is a stronger player than me?
