Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-26-05  Whitehat1963: Excellent endgame.
Mar-26-05  beachbum: Where did Marotti go wrong?
Mar-26-05  Whitehat1963: The annotator provides better clues than I can. As far as I can see Marotti doesn't make any egregious errors; he just gets outplayed.
Mar-26-05  Karpova: <beachbum> the game is annotated...

wrong: 19.ng6:, 20.dc

Mar-26-05  beachbum: Yeah, the knight was superior to the bishop. Most of the time queen and knight combination is better than queen and bishop.
Mar-26-05  Gregor Samsa Mendel: <Beachbum> This may be quibbling, but the game was a Q+N vs. Q+B ending for only one move. This seems more like a case of Good Knight vs. Bad Bishop to me.

Marotti worked hard to get that outside passed a-pawn; maybe he thought it would have magical powers.

Jan-16-11  jeanwensel: Reti can't play 31.N x c1 because the a pawn will promote:first time I see that in a game.
May-29-22  tbontb: Black Reti demonstrates his endgame skills to win a N versus bad B position but White Marotti makes things easy with 35.a6. Instead White can promote first by 35.Kg4 Kb5 36.Kg5 Kxa5 37.Kxg6 Kb5 38.Kxg7 Nxb2 39.h4 Nd1 40.Bd2 Nxc3 41.Bxc3 d4 42.Be1 c3 43.h5 Kc4 44.h6 d3 45.h7 d2 46.h8=Q dxe1=Q but the ensuing Q ending is lost.
