  An Englishman: Good Morning: And a third game! Thank you, CG.
Jan-22-19  BOSTER: The strange B b5 is good.

  An Englishman: Good Evening: Looking at 66...Rc4+; 67.Kf3,Rxa4; 68.Rxb6+,Kf7 (or Kf5 with probable perpetual). These R + 3 v. R +3 endgames where one player has a passed a-pawn can get surprisingly difficult given the small amount of material, but this one looks drawn.

  An Englishman: Good Morning: One side has an extra pawn, both sides have lousy pawn structures--these endgames are always difficult. Won't criticize them if they agree to a draw out of mutual disgust with the position.

  eternaloptimist: <An Englishman> This is definitely no draw. Fedoseev is going to win this game.

  An Englishman: Good Morning: <eternaloptimist>, indeed he did. This game turned so fast, but cannot yet figure out where White went wrong.

  plang: The game was even, apparently, until 79 Rg7+?. 84..Kd6 was pretty subtle. Pawn endings can be tricky.
Jan-22-19  BOSTER: I agree with <plang>, move 79. Rg7 in not very good because after this the mobility of this rook is limlted.
Jan-22-19  frogbert: Position after 84. axb5+ is a good end game puzzle. Nice how the black king can stop both white's passers in the b- and f-files, almost study-like. Radjabov seemingly missed this when he planned/calculated the lines involving Rc7+ Rc6 Rxc6+ Kxc6 Kf6 b5.
Jan-22-19  ndg2: Why 84..Kd6 wins and 84.. Kxb5 doesn't is worth a study I think. Allowing a passer on the b-file wasn't obvious to me. The reason is that 84..Kd6 forces blacks king in some variations onto the a1-h8 diagonal in order to support promotion of the f-pawn, when the black a-pawn can queen with check whereas black easily prevents white's b-pawn from queening.

Instead 84..Kxb5 allows both black and white to promote and then it's just a draw.

  HeMateMe: White seemed to lose this ending when his rook left the b file on move 69.

  Breunor: This is a beautiful endgame! Key here is that after the f and a pawns rush to queen, black plays Ke7 and then when white plays Kg7, black queens with check!

85 Kg6 a4 86 f5 a3 87 f6 a2 88 f7 Ke7!
So if white plays 89 Kg7 a1= Q ch! Which is a known win.
