Dr. J: My solution was 48...Rb4+ 49 Ka3 c2. Is this better, worse, or equivalent?

Dr. J: <lost in space: 17...Qe1!!> Well done, sir! You fully deserve the two exclamation points you awarded it.

Dr. J: Here's a second solution: 28 Ba7 Ra8 29 Nb6 Rxa7 30 Nxc8 Ra8 31 Qc7+ and Black's position collapses, as White must win at least Rook. So is this as good as, or better than the game continuation? Hard to say, because of possible bail-out variations. In my line Black would have done ...

Dr. J: It seems hard to believe that 6...Bd6 is a losing move, as Clarke's notes seem to imply. Could Black have improved later? For instance 17...f6 or 17...Bxa2?

Dr. J: <Dr. J: <OhioChessFan> That was an utterly uncalled-for insult that comes right up to the border of being a posting-guideline violation> I completely retract this comment, with apologies. I did not get the reference.

Dr. J: Just to clarify:
32 Kg1 Bxg4 33 hxg4(?) Bxf2+ 34 Kh1 h3.
32 Ke1 Bxf2+ 33 Ke2* Bxg4+ 34 hxg4 h3!.
*33 Nxf2 Rxf2 34 Be2 Rxg2+ 35 Kd2 Qf4+ 36 Kc3 (forced) Rxe2. White loses loads of material in all cases.

Dr. J: <newzild> What does Rybka think of 16...Qxb2+ 17 Nge2 b6 e.g., 18 Rb1 Qh2 19 Rb3 Qa5 20 Ra3 Qc5 21 Rxa7 e5?

Dr. J: After 33 Qc7+ [DIAGRAM] doesn't Black have much better drawing chances with 33...Kg8? How does White avoid losing back one of the pawns?

Dr. J: After 35...Kb8 White is already ahead in material (RR vs. Q), and has a wicked attack, so it is not surprising that there might be more than one way to win. A)36 Nb5 as per the game, requires calculation (or appraisal) of several lines, e.g., 36...Qd8, requiring some work, but leaves ...
