  Honza Cervenka: Quite eventful game! Tarrasch outplayed Yates in final stage of the game only to let him slip off the hook by repetition of moves instead of instant coup de grace Rg1-g3 in moves 46, 48 or 50. On the other hand, Yates could have won the game too having a clear edge, which he dropped by tempting but weak 32.Rxc8?!, which won two pieces for the Rook but allowed black to launch dangerous counter-attack. After better 32.Rc4 black's situation would be very difficult, if not lost byy force.
Jul-10-17  Straclonoor: <capanegra: You're Right! 50...Rg3! wins on the spot.> 50....hxg4 wins as well
Analysis by Stockfish 030717 64 POPCNT:
(-4.35): 50...fxg4 51.Qe4+ Qxe4 52.Nxe4 Rh1+ 53.Kg2 gxh3+ 54.Rxh3 Rxh3 55.Kxh3 a5 56.Nc3 Kg6 57.Nb5 a4 58.Kg2 Rd1 59.Be7 Rd5 60.Nc3 Rd2+ 61.Kf1 Rd4 62.Ne2 Rd3 63.Kf2 a3 64.Bxa3 Rxa3 65.Nd4 Ra2+ 66.Ke3 Kf7 67.Nb5 Ra5 68.Nd4 Ra6 69.Kf3 h5 70.Kg3 Ra3+ 71.Nf3 Kg6 72.Kg2 Kf5 73.Nd4+ Kxf4 74.Nxe6+ Kg4 75.Nd4 Ra2+ 76.Kf1
Jul-10-17  Bobby Spassky: The only problem with hxg4 is that it is illegal.
Jul-10-17  Howard: "Impossible" would be a better word, but that don't matter.
Jul-10-17  Straclonoor: <The only problem with hxg4 is that it is illegal.> Sorry, I meant 50....fxg4 of course.
Jul-10-17  ChessHigherCat: As an illegal move, 50...hxg4 wins on the spot, too, just not for black. I thought 50...fxg4 looked survivable for white because of 51. Qe4+ Qxe4 52. Nxe4 but Fish Stick thought otherwise after seeing another 24 moves in advance! This just isn't a game for humans anymore. Tiddly-winks anyone?
