Kibitzer's Corner
Dec-20-06  Bridgeburner: This game rises to no great heights, with neither side making great moves or any significant mistakes except for prolonging the ending after move 29 which was so drawn that it was almost impossible to lose.

Even the oversight on the forty ninth move <49.g5 Nxb4> doesn't spoil the party as it settles into an ending with opposite colored bishops.

The only point of real interest in the game is the possible pawn grab with <29.Rxa7>.

Fortunately for White, he has too much sense to fall into this trap as he would have immediately been undone with <29...Rc2 30.Ba1 Rc1 31.Bb2 Rb1> and the threat of <32...Bb5> wins the exchange and the game.

A well played if uneventful game by Rubinstein and Znosko-Borosvsky..
