Aug-11-12		rilkefan: I didn't understand the last few moves. Stockfish wanted 32...Bc3 with equality. After ...Re8 it suggests 33.b5 Bc8 34.c6, +0.5 at a depth of 29. It looks like this ends up with 3 vs 2 on the kside so perhaps to a GM it's obviously drawn. Hmm, now it's looking at 34.Re1 instead, perhaps for that reason, and the evaluation is over 0.7 (1.2 Gnodes). After the move I half-wondered about, 33.Rxd5, the rook penetration after ...Re2 and the mate threat is strong, plus the 2 bishops are good. Now I have 33.b5 Bc8 34.Re1 Rxe1+ 35.Bxe1 Kf8 36.c6 bxc6 37.Bb4+ Ke8 b6 as +0.9, and 36...b6 37.Nb7 as +1 (depth of 30).
