Dec-21-07  MostlyAverageJoe: Finally -- got to the clue in time (Poetic Endgame).

First, Google search for words poet, poetic, or poetry on players' bio pages yielded a couple of names, but no success.

Then, I bet on the player's name to be the same as of some famous poet. Alas, none of "Homer (Computer)" or "John Homer Stapfer" games were it.

So, scan the players' list for other appropriate names. Wittman was one of the first ones I tried. After looking at the list of his games, I though that W Wittmann vs J Mickevicius, 2006 would surely be it, Mickevicius being the Lithuanian spelling of the last name of one of greatest Polish poets, Mickiewicz (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_M...), but no luck there.

Oh well, some furious clicking through other games of Mickevicius and Wittman, and there it was. Strangely, this game does not show up in http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... (R vs 2P)) or Endgame Explorer (R vs. B+2P).

Dec-21-07  Buddy Revell: <MostlyAverageJoe> Congratulations! =) That one was giving me a hard time. The fact that the game doesn't show up in the Endgame Explorer may have something to do with it. =P

  al wazir: Incidentally, this is a fascinating game. White didn't play 37. Nxd4, which apparently wins a ♙, because of 37...exd4 38. Bxd4 Rxd4! 39. Kxd4 Be5+.

But after 47...Bd4+ 48. Nxd4 exd4+, black has all the winning chances.

Dec-21-07  Shams: nice work Mostly Average Joe!
