Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-28-06  HighlyOriginal: And this is a "Short" game!
Jan-28-06  PhilFeeley: It was a draw by move 40!
Jan-28-06  PhilFeeley: Then again, could Sandipan have won with 74. Rb7?
Jan-28-06  AjedrezVasco: 74.Rb7 Bxb7 75.Kxb7 is a draw too, but I can't see the point of your suggestion 74.Rb7??
Jan-28-06  samsal27: With draws against Kobalia and Short, Sandipan is the best performer among the Indian contingent here! Let us see how he fares against Shirov ...
Jan-29-06  Fan of Leko: Hope Nigel didn't bet the farm on winning this.
Feb-01-06  Phoenix: Nigel accepted the draw at the right moment...otherwise he might have played 125.Ra4.
Apr-23-06  bodybyjustin: what happens if 72.Rb7+
Apr-12-10  minasina: <what happens if 72.Rb7+>

how about 72. ...Bxb7 73. Kxb7 Ke6 74. Bg8 Rg7+ 75. Kb6 Rxa7
