May-22-06  outplayer: 26.Bf3 but white hasn't won. Why not 41...Rf2?
Jun-02-06  EmperorAtahualpa: <Why not 41...Rxf2?>

<outplayer> This looks plausible at first sight, but don't forget about the mate threats on the other side of the board:

41...Rxf2? 42.Qe8+! Rf7 (42...Kg5? 43.Qxe6 threatening Qh6#) 43.Qxe6+ Qf6 (43...Rf6? 44.Qg8#) 44.Qxf6 Rxf6 45.Kxf2
