Jun-05-12		GreenLantern: 34.Re7+!

Jun-05-12		Babes: And after 34...Kg8?

Jun-05-12		MORPHYEUS: there follows N-e4

Jun-05-12		iking: time pressure + equal position leads to draw .... players of such caliber show respect to their equally talented opponents.

Jun-08-12		Transformer: White should have won. Houdini 1.5 on final position: [+4.11] d=28 34.Re7 Kg8 35.Ne4 Rxf3 36.Rc1 Qb6 37.Rd1 R3f7 38.Rd6 Rxe7 39.Rg6 Rg7 40.Rxh6 Qxh6 41.Qxh6 Bb6 42.Nf6 Kf7 43.Nd7 Re8 44.Qf6 Kg8 45.Qc6 Rxd7 46.Qxd7 Re5 47.Kf3 Kf8 48.Kg4 Bxf2 49.Qxc7 Re7 50.Qc8 Kg7 51.Qc3 Kg8 52.Kh5 Bb6 53.Kxg5 Re3 54.Qc8 Kf7 55.g4 Ke7 56.Qc4 Re6 57.Qd3 (1:09:51) 39795011kN

Jun-15-12		Babes: Against Ne4 I want ...Rxf3. Then after Houdini's 36. Rc1 Qb6 37. Rd1 I want 37...Rxf2+ 38. Nxf2 Qxf2+ 39. Kh1 Qf5, point being that 40. Qxh6 Qf3+ is a perpetual.

Jun-15-12		Babes: Actually, not 39...Qf5, but 39...Qf6

Jun-15-12		Transformer: Instead of 39.Kh1, 39.Kh3 is stronger and avoids any threat of perpetual check. [+4.50] d=28 39.Kh3 Qf6 40.Qe2 Bb4 41.Rxc7 a5 42.Qc4 Rf7 43.Rxf7 Qxf7 44.Qxf7 Kxf7 45.Rd5 Ke6 46.Rb5 Kd7 47.Kg4 Kc6 48.Re5 Bd2 49.Re6 Kd5 50.Rxh6 Bc1 51.Ra6 (0:45:34) 24621942kN [+1.92] d=28 39.Kh1 Qf5 40.a3 Bb6 41.Kh2 Qf2 42.Kh3 Qf6 43.Qe2 h5 44.Kg2 Qf2 45.Qxf2 Rxf2 46.Kh3 Kf8 47.Rh7 Ke8 48.b4 Ra2 49.Rd5 g4 50.Kh4 Rxa3 51.Rdxh5 Kd8 52.Rf5 Kc8 (0:49:24) 26645703kN

Jun-17-12		Babes: hmm, I forgot that if ...Qf5+ then just Qg4. And if 36...Rxf2+ 37. Kh3 just wins for White. Well then, I suppose there's no more arguing with Houdini. That's some tricky stuff though; I can understand how even somebody of Wesley So's caliber didn't see it.

Jun-18-12		Transformer: I agree with you. None of this is easy to spot over-the-board.
