Medieval Knight: Too bad Yifan's passed pawn wasn't on the a-file!

Medieval Knight: Looks like Ray had to hatch the queen on move 45, since 45..Rf3 loses immediately to 46 Nc7+ (Mate in 2) What a finish!

Medieval Knight: <JimmyRockHound: Hi. Just joined up. If white plays Ra1 now have we not lost our rook?> I don't think so.
19.Ra1 Bxd3 20.Qxd3 Rc4 or

Medieval Knight: I sort of got it. I found 22...Bxh2+ and analyzed 23.Kxh2 and 23.Kf2, but didn't analyze 23.Qxh2 (What actually happened!). Good God, my head is in the clouds today!

Medieval Knight: Luck also enters in when your opponent misses a chance to crush you and you escape with a draw.

Medieval Knight: Missed it. I can see it's going to be a long week. I was trying to trap the black queen.

Medieval Knight: How about 29...Rfa8 (Mate next move), 30.Qd8+ Rxd8, 31.Rxd8+ Bf8 32.Rd2 (Preventing Qc2#) Ra1+, 32.Kxa1 Qa4+, 33. Kb1 Qa2+ 34. Kc1 Qa1#. Not as elegant, but it works. White rook on d2 aids the mate.
