Kibitzer's Corner
May-21-09  David2009: 43 Rxd6+ Bxd6 44 f5+ Kf7 45 Bd2 would have left White a Pawn ahead, with good winning chances. E.g. 45 Be5 46 Kf3 Kf6 47 Ke4 Bb2 48 Be3 Bc3 49 Bd4+ Bxd4 50 Kxd4 and wins the Pawn ending.

Staunton won a number of Pawn and move odds games because White castled into an attack on the f-file. With a Pawn at f7, the sacrifice in Zytogorski vs Staunton, 1841 would not work.
