Jul-05-12		OBIT: Man, over 100 moves in a blitz game! I'm sure both players were running on fumes by this point, but 101...Bf4? is highly dubious, stalemating the Black king. Black continued to head toward a drawing trap after 102. Re8+ Kf7? (102...Ne7! would have fixed this), and I'm guessing if White had continued 103. Rf8+, Black would have played 103...Kg7?, which is the consistent follow-up to ...Kf7 but unfortunately a blunder. The position is now a theoretical draw: 104. Rf7+! Kh6 105. Rf6+ Kh5 106. Rh6+! Kxh6 stalemate. Of course, Black could keep playing for a win with 105...Rg6, when 106. Rxf5 reaches a drawn R+B vs R endgame - then we might have seen this blitz game go over 150 moves. Now, Black might have realized his mistake and played 103...Ke7, when 104. Rf7+ Ke6 105. Rf6+ Kd5 ends the checks from the kamikaze rook. However, Black can still play 106. Rg6, forcing the rooks to be exchanged. Then we could have seen how good these GMs are at executing the B+N checkmate with only a few seconds on their clock.
