Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-26-11  sicilianhugefun: Is there already a win after the next 10 moves? queen endgames with an open board is a very boring and difficult position to handle. Boring because of the senseless checks being delivered by the losing side to avert defeat, its difficult for the winning side to hide from such checks and if possible find a way to exchange queens and then promote a new one without allowing the losing side to create a new queen as well.

I think it's not that hard to see 96.Qf7+ and the moves after.

Sep-27-11  sicilianhugefun: So after 95. ..kc8 96.Qf7 black can justy play 96...Qc6+ and then the barage of checks by black to the white monarch starts.. I am not saying that white wouldn't win by it will be a long process.. tnx by the way kudubux
Sep-27-11  kellmano: In the event of ....Kc8, the qeen would check on g8 first, then come back to f7

I don't understand why black played 91. ...... Qf6+ rather than ......Qa5+

Apr-29-15  Howard: This game was played in the next-to-last round of the championship and helped cost Gulko a share of first place.
Apr-29-15  yiotta: Black is walking in a mine field, one error and kapoom! In the meantime, White's worst fear is another check. Black must calculate each move while the clock erodes, very tiring. If White could manage to get his Queen to c6 and the King deep on the b or a file, I think the win would then be easy.
Apr-29-15  yiotta: Of course, that would precede Gulko's decision to relocate his King.
