Jun-07-04  ravrdj: why is this game a draw? white is clearly winning.. the only thing I can think of is if this was a blitz game or someone was low on time
Jun-07-04  acirce: <ravrdj> How is White clearly winning? Can you give a line? 26. Rxb6 seems forced... then 26...Nxc1 27. Rb7 Rd8 and now White can choose between perpetual checks and trying to win with 28. Ba7 but how is that so clear after 28...Rxa7 29. Rxa7 Nb6 ?
Jun-07-04  Whitehat1963: How does black respond to 26. Bxd7+ (double check)?
Jun-07-04  acirce: He recaptures the bishop and white's rooks are still forked. 27. Rc7+ Kxd6 doesn't help since then they are still both attacked.
Jun-07-04  Whitehat1963: 26. Bxd7+, Kxd7 27. Rxb6. Now what?
Jun-07-04  acirce: 27...Nxc1
Jun-07-04  Whitehat1963: 28. Bxc1.
Jun-07-04  acirce: Yes, and White is down material. Where is the compensation?
Jun-07-04  Whitehat1963: Agreed. Where from there?
Jun-07-04  notsodeepthought: White might escape - barely - with 26 B:d7 (double check) K:d7 27 Rc7+ K:d6 28 Rbc4, remaining a pawn down - both the black b pawn and the white a pawn should fall soon after - but with some initiative. I don't see anything better.
Jun-07-04  acirce: So White must go for 26. Rxb6 I guess.
Jun-08-04  Whitehat1963: What does Crafty have to say? Is this a draw or does someone stand significantly better? What's the best line after 25... Nd3?
Jun-08-04  crafty: 26. ♖xb6 ♘xc1 27. ♖b7 ♖d8 28. ♗a7 ♖xa7 29. ♖xa7   (eval 0.54; depth 16 ply; 1000M nodes)
