Jan-21-06  DanielBryant: <chessgames.com> Thanks for updating the clocks, by the way.
Jan-21-06  flamboyant: al notation: the point is Bh6+, creating a mat net
Jan-21-06  bharatiy: NXB QXb and then Nf4+ Leko wwins
Jan-21-06  Hiarcs: it seems tricky for black to take the knight, he needs confidence right now not an experiment
Jan-21-06  hshdk: Shouldn't Leko play h4 now, to force the check on h5?
Jan-21-06  TheSlid: <Al Notation> The Bh6+ is terminal if black takes the N. The follow up for White is Qxf7.
Jan-21-06  cuendillar: I think that's the point of g5; to stop Bh6+ once and for all
Jan-21-06  DanielBryant: <hshkd> I think the knight might be able to be taken then.
Jan-21-06  Scarecrow: 42. Nxd6 please!! if Q moves then 43. Qxf7+ and mate soon. Any refutation?
Jan-21-06  Kelvieto: 42. Na5 Qa6 43.Nac6 Qa2 44.Qe2 Qa8 45.Bxb5 Nef6 46.Bd3 Kh8
Jan-21-06  Al Notation: Mmmm, gotcha! This beginner says "thanks".
Jan-21-06  azaris: Some day I wish they'd fix the way time is added with the time controls. It's frustrating that until the 40th move they play with a rapid pace and then suddenly nothing happens for nearly 2 hours.
Jan-21-06  bharatiy: why not Nf5+ its winning
Jan-21-06  DanielBryant: <Scarecrow> 42...Nxd6
Jan-21-06  Hiarcs: here fits the famous sentence "winning a won game", this is a task
Jan-21-06  Kelvieto: After 43. Nf5+ Kh8 44.Nc6 Qa4 45.Nh6 f6 46.Qe2 Qa8 47.Bxb5 Qb7, Kamsky is cooked. I think he should just resign
Jan-21-06  bharatiy: and its there from leko
Jan-21-06  Scarecrow: <DanielBryant> Oh thank you! My engine was looking at a wrong position :)))
Jan-21-06  JASAHA: After NxB there is the N check and if the B doesn take the N move the h pawn to open more checks.
Jan-21-06  Hiarcs: it is often wise to wait for a blunder, that worked quite well for lasker in the past. =)
