Jul-14-17  Marmot PFL: giri was relentless in the rook ending.
Jul-14-17  beenthere240: I saw this game halfway thru and concluded it was drawn. This seems to be Hou's major weakness. She needs to take some lessons from Magnus.
Jul-14-17  whiteshark: I didn't like <44.h4>. White should wait moving her ♖♖ along the a-file. I don't see how to make progress for black.
Apr-23-21  nummerzwei: 54.Rxf7 leads to a lost rook ending that already occurred in Chandler vs Gulko, 1987. However, 54.Rxe1?! is no improvement as Black wins easily with 54...Rd7+!.

Actually, even after the more tenacious 51.Rc7 Kh6 52.Re6+ g6 53.Rc2, Black appears to be winning in the long run.
