Kibitzer's Corner
Apr-29-11  ozmikey: Black's resignation actually spoiled what would have been a beautiful pawn ending here. After the forced 65...Ke6 (not 65...gxh5+ 66. Kxh5 Ke6 67. Kg5, and White will eventually win by forcing his king around to g8 then creating the "trebuchet" on g7), White doesn't play 66. hxg6?? fxg6 67. Kg5 Kf7! when Black wins, but instead 66. h6! Kxf6 67. Kh4! (not 67. Kf4?? g5+ 68. Kg4 Kg6 69. h7 f5+!), when Black is a pawn up but in a cute zugzwang.

He can play 67...g5+ 68. Kh5 g4 (only move!) 69. Kxg4 Kg6 70. h7! Kxh7 71. Kf5, and White will win by snipping off the d-pawn and then either running his own d-pawn home or taking the b-pawn as well and rushing back in time to stop the Black f-pawn. A sample line: 71...Kg7 72. Ke5 Kg6 73. Kxd5 f5 74. Ke5! (important, to force the Black king to g5) Kg5 75. d5, and White queens with check!

Apr-29-11  BobCrisp: Nice analysis, boy.
Nov-14-19  Cheapo by the Dozen: Black's horrible blunder on Move 60 can be construed as him having fallen into a trap.

  Teyss: Indeed 60...Nc6? was a mistake: either Black didn't see the pin or he did and didn't predict the ensuing K + Ps ending is lost, as proves the good analysis by <ozmikey>.

SF recommends 60...Nc8 or Ng8 with equality as far as 49 ply. I would have played 60...Ng8 attacking the f6 Pawn and missing 61.Bxg6! Argh. Now of course 61...fxg6? 62.f7 is lost but don't panic: 61...Ke6 wins the f6 Pawn, material is equal and Black can apparently hold off the h Pawn.

The pun is a line from 'Jabberwocky': "The jaws that bite, the claws that catch" . Fun although Jos didn't bite much.

  OhioChessFan: Nice pun. I lean towards Black's 60th being a time trouble matter.
