Feb-16-05  mjk: Endgame specialists: Doesn't 71.♕c8+ draw by keeping the Black King from finding shelter behind White's Pawn?

  beatgiant: <Doesn't 71. Qc8+ draw> I think so too, but White has to be careful.

For example, 71. Qc8+ Kg5 72. Qg8+ Kh5 73. Qh8+ Kg4 74. Qg8+ Kf3 75. Qa8+? Kxg3 wins, because the king can hide at f1, but instead 75. Qd5+ Kxg3 76. Qg5+ with perpetual check (if the king runs to f1, White has Qh3+).

  beatgiant: In the line I gave above, Black can still hide behind the g-pawn with 71. Qc8+ Kg5 72. Qg8+ Kh5 73. Qh8+ Kg4 74. Qg8+ <Kh3!> and then White runs out of checks after 75. Qh7+ Kg2 76. Qd5+ Kg1.

After catching this mistake and reanalyzing the position, I haven't discovered a drawing line yet. For example, 71. Qc8+ Kg5 72. Qg8+ Kh5 73. Qh7+ allows 73...Kg4 74. Qd7+ Kxg3! and the king can hide on f1.

  beatgiant: My suggested improvement is 60. fxe4. If then 60...Nxe4 61. Ke2 Nxg3+ 62. Kxe3 is a win for White (Nalimov).

  beatgiant: I think White can still draw with 63. Nf2! Nd2+ 64. Ke1 exf2+ 65. Kxf2. Then, to stop the a-pawn, Black has to give up his own last pawn with 65...Nc4 66. Kxf3.
Feb-17-05  mjk: <beatgiant> Thanks for looking at this. I see that the improvement must come before move 71. Your suggestion 60.fxe4 looks good.
Apr-29-05  halcyonteam: i think white is making mistake on 60.a6

shouldn't he played 60. f4+ ?

this leads to doubled pawns on e-file, and white's passed pawn on h-file can advance to queen without problem?
