Nov-07-11		HeMateMe: Nice seal + kingside attack from Natalie P. I'm guessing black resigned because 25. B-h6 was next, with an avalanche of white pieces joining the party. We all try to get this much k-side space to attack, doesn't always happen. I guess black had to either play f6 and liquidate the blocking pawn, or else open up the center very quickly, get some counterplay, a move or two ago.

Nov-07-11		Sequoia: The scoresheet is incomplete, and it looks like Black lost on tim at move 35 in an equal position.

Nov-07-11		HeMateMe: It doesn't look very equal to me. White has 4 pieces aimed at the black kingside, with no defenders except for a knight on f8. I too was surprised that black didn't play on a few more moves, but the end is not in doubt.

Nov-07-11		Natalia Pogonina: The score sheet is indeed incomplete, so is the live version at the official website. Salome resigned on move 51.
