Nov-02-09		laskersteinitz: White offered a draw after 49. Rf3, which was obviously declined. Then Black offered a draw after 73...Kc7, also obviously declined.

Nov-02-09		Justawoodpusher: 72...f5 opens the hole at e5 for the white king and black is doomed. Without this move I think no win for either side is possible.

Without this move I think no win for either side is possible.> Hard to believe that a GM could play a move as poor as 72 ... f6-f5??, just inviting the White king to penetrate the Black position via the newly weakened e5-square. 75 d4-e5 click for larger view 75 d4-e5 is the logical result of Black's disastrous 72 ... f6-f5??.
