Dec-27-15  zydeco: I made a hash of this game on guess-the-move. 36.Rb1 leaves an impression, coolly creating threats along black's third rank - as does 39.Kh1, a quiet king move in the heat of battle.

  Honza Cervenka: 37.Rfc1 was a slip which could get white into troubles. Instead of 39...Qxd4?? black should have played 39...fxg4 with advantage. Correct continuation for white would have been 37.Rxb5! with idea 37...Qxb5 38.Nh5!

40. ?

if 41...♘g6 42,♖c8+ mates
If instead, 40...♖f7 41.♘xf7 ♔xf7 42.♕g7+ ♔e6 43.♘f4+ ♔d6 44.♕xd4+ wins the queen.

Sep-02-24  Muttley101: Presumably the answer to WTHarvey's question "40. ?" is white's next move, 40 Nh5, and if so, in the line 40 ... R:f7 41 N:f7 K:f7, 42 Qg7+ is answered by 42 ... Q:g7 ...

The actual winning lines are worth spending a bit of time finding.

Good catch! Playing it out <37.Rxb5! Qxb5 38.Nh5 Nd5 39.Nxf6 Nxf6 40.Nxg6! Qb4! <..hxg6 41.Qxg6 Rg7 <..Kf8 41.Qxf6 Rf7 42.Qxf5!!.. with a winning pawn endgame> 42.Qxf6 two pawns up>>and though White has the advantage, it seems not decisive.
