Feb-08-05  Vodochka: Looks like forces a mate
Feb-11-05  patzer2: Emil Sutovsky pulls off his second swindle with the Black pieces in the 2005 Gibraltar Masters Tournament, catching another strong GM, Boris Avrukh, in an endgame mating trap.

White could have had a comfortable advantage with 38. g4, 39. g4 or 40. g4 ,with a draw in-hand , and perhaps some winning chances.

Instead, White throws away any hope for advantage with 41. Ke4? (better was 41. Ke2!), and blunders into Black's little mate trap with 42. Kf3?? (White could have held after 42.Ke5! Bc7 43.Bb7 Rxd7+ 44.Ke6 Rf7 45.Bd5 Rf6+ 46.Ke7=).

After 42. Kf3??, Black springs his little mating surprise and forces White's resignation after 42...Rd2!, due to the decisive threat 42...Rd2! 43.g4 h4! 44.gxf5 gxf5 45.d8Q Rf2#.
