Dec-10-04  Knight13: A interesting threat: 35. Rxg7+ Kh8 36. Rxc7+ Kg8 37. Rg7+ Kh8 38. Rxb7+ Kg8 39. Rg7+ Kh8 40. Rxa7+ Kg8 41. Rg7+ Kh8 42. Rc7+ Kg8 43. Rxc6. After this, I don't know if White can win or not. At least he can hold it. But 36. Rg5+ is much better.

A letter to <chessgames.com>: the move 36. Rg5 should be changed to 36. Rg5+.

Dec-10-04  drukenknight: who was this lipschutz guy? He seems very strong.
Jan-28-06  blingice: Maybe 25..♖xe7 26. fxg5..♖xe3

Gets 2 ♖ for a ♕, doubles White's pawns on g-file, opens a file for Black's ♖s, and defuses the pressure on Black's g♙.
