Jan-03-10		Jason Frost: Could Bologan have held by staying on the first rank? It seems like black can't really push a2 with the stalemate threats it creates, and trading rooks results in a draw.

Jan-03-10		zanshin: From the final position, I get a tablebase mate in 3: click for larger view 101. Ka2 Bc4+ 102. Kxa3 Ra1+ 103. Ra2 Rxa2# 0-1

Jan-03-10		Eyal: <Could Bologan have held by staying on the first rank?> No – eventually Black would complete the winning maneuver of Kb3-Bd3 with the rook on the 2nd rank, when the threat of Ra2# is decisive.
