Sep-05-12		hugogomes: Solution... ........... 35. Rxf8!, Rxf8 (35...Kxf8 36. Qf3+ Kg8 37. Rg7+ Kxg7* 38. Qf6+ Kg8 39. Qxg6+ Kf8 40. Bd6+ Re7 41. Qf6+ Kg8 42. Qg6+ Kf8 43. Qh6+ Kf7 44. Qh7+ Ke6 45. Qxe7+ Kd5 46. Be4+ Kc4 47. Qc7+ Kb5 48. Qb7+ Ka5 49. Qb4+ Ka6 50. Bb7#) 36. Qe4!, Rh1+ 37. Kg4!, Rf4+ 38. Bxf4, Rg1+ 39. Bg3, Rxg3+ 40. Kxg3, Qf2+ 41. Kg4, Qf5+ 42. Qxf5, gxf5+ 43.

Rh7+!. If Black captures, Qh5+! followed by Qxg6+ and it's transposition to the "main line". If black plays 38... Kg8, then 39. Rh8+! followed by Qf6+ with transposition to the main line once again. In conclusion, mate is forced.
