Apr-08-15  Marmot PFL: These queen endings are too hard for humans. 53...f3 blows the win after 54 g4!

57 Qf8+ is perpetual check, but white lets black escape and go on to win.

Apr-09-15  zoren: The three result endgame where objectivity is thrown out the window is the typical heartbreak fare experienced at the club level - a bit refreshing to see this this happen at a high level.

Robson found a draw in a sea of winning lines available to him with 53...f3, but Naroditsky smelled blood when Robson was down to seconds to make moves and decided to eschew the draw.

Around move 60, black escaped the check (and checkmates!) with a few only moves - heartbreaking game for Naroditsky but his fighting spirit is commendable.

Also, Robson seems to be in the category of players who play possibly BETTER when its down to the wire like Chucky or Grischuk.

A blunderful but thrilling game that reminded me all the reasons I liked and hated chess at the same time - it can be very devastating and unforgiving.

I've always thought that too.
