Apr-18-08  percyblakeney: This doesn't look like an endgame the winner of the next World Championship would need to lose, for example 70. a6 is immediately winning here:

After 70. a6 Be3 71. a7 Bxa7 72. Rb7 black can safely resign.

  Honza Cervenka: Bykova clearly outplayed her opponent but she blundered in a won position with 70.Ke1? and 71.Rb6+? This loss quite probably cost her the title of the World Champion then.

  perfidious: This sequence has all the earmarks of zeitnot, just before the third time check, culminating in move 72, the final move of the control.
