Jul-01-12		Call Me TC: Wolbrecht and, presumably, Capa missed the cute defence 29...Re1+ 30.Kf2 Rh1 which should be drawn. 29.Rxh7 Qxh7 30.Rxh7 Kxh7 31.Qc7+ Ne7 32.Nb5/d5 was the straightforward winning method. Wolbrecht missed his own winning chance when 23...Nc6 allows him to beat off the attack, activate his rooks and convert his material advantage.
