Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-03-05  Runemaster: The last five moves are particularly nice. 30...Ra6 must have been an enjoyable move to make.
Aug-03-05  Shams: yes, very nice. tpstar, you should annotate this for us.

white may have had better chances with 30.Bf6 Qb1+ 31.Kh2 Rg8 32.Qxd5, for example 32...Bg6 33.Qd4 Qe4 34.Qb2 or some such.

Aug-04-05  Runemaster: <Shams> I think the trouble with 30.Bf6 is 30...Qc1+ 31.Kh2 Qf4+ winning the rook on c7.
Aug-04-05  gambeteer: Obviously 20. Rxc7 is a bad move. White would have done much better playing b3, followed by something like Qe3 after black's queen taking the a-pawn and make the most of the bad positioning of the black lady. Still have to analyse though
Aug-04-05  ramdaz: 32 Kh2 b2
33 Qh6+ Kg8
34 Qxg7++

White wins!

  tpstar: <ramdaz> 32. Kh2 Qe5+ & 33 ... Qxc7 and Black stands better.

Thank you all very much for reviewing my game. This was an exciting finish from the Pan-Ams = the annual college team championship. He totally missed the point of 30 ... Ra6! until too late.
