Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-06-10  Everett: Bronstein whips up an attack on the white king, sacking the exchange and the another piece to fuel his initiative. Still, after 41..Kh7 42.Rc7! Bronstein's position is not comfortable. Am I missing something?
Oct-07-10  kudubux: Hello <Everett>!

Keres could be in time trouble here. He offered the draw after the Rook check. Your 42.Rc7 will be answered by Rook checks along the h-file since the White King is confined to its 1st and 2nd ranks.

Meaning: 42.Rc7 Rh1+ 43.Kf2 Rh2+ 44.Ke1 Rh1+ 45.Kd2 Rh2+ 46.Kc1 Rh1+, etc. It is dangerous to move to any light square and to c3 as Black can give check on f6.

Oct-07-10  Everett: <Kudubux> Thank you! I did not see the queen check from f6, and assumed black would have to play <after 41..Kh7 42.Rc7 Qe6

A remarkable position.
