Kibitzer's Corner
Nov-15-12  vinidivici: If you calculate enough , you will find that
54.Rf8+ is a mistake. After 54...Kxf8
55.a=Q

It will be a Queen vs rook+3 pawns

It's hard to win it, big chance a DRAW.

But, why not 54.Rb8!
54...Ra4 55.a=Q Rxa8

Now, a rook vs 3 pawns and the white king position is VERY GOOD, in front of hostile pawns. Its a WIN.

Materials??? Not different
1.a queen vs rook+3 pawns = +1
2.a rook vs 3 pawns = +2

So why not choose the +2 variation.

take care
