Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-10-07  Sololoy: White let go a win: instead of 21. Nh5+, getting the pice back, She could have gone with ideas like 21. b4, 22. Qh7+, 23. Qxh6+, 24. QxR and 25. Rfd1. leaving the black King centralized, isolated and ready to get mated.
Nov-07-07  Cuellargacharna: Sololoy: Very well said and done.
Do you think that 70.Bxd3+ would have saved the day for white by drawing?
Jan-26-09  eightbyeight: Why 42. Rxd5? It looks like White just throws away his advantage of an exchange.
Sep-18-09  whiteshark: <eightbyeight> yes, incredible how white finally lost this game yet.
Dec-19-10  eightbyeight: Better would have been 42. Rd1.
Feb-26-11  zealouspawn: Rhian's current FIDE rating is less than 1800 and she's a WFM. Women have the ability to be great at chess, but that's just sad.
Apr-08-12  eightbyeight: At move 42, White is vulnerable both on the back rank and the long diagonal. He could play 42. Be2 Rc2 43. Re1 (otherwise his rooks are forked) but I can't see anything after that.
Sep-22-12  Abdel Irada: Amazing. I've never seen a retroactive self-abortion before. White had to have worked hard and assiduously to convert an irresistible middlegame attack and a dominant endgame advantage into a loss.
Mar-31-13  Abdel Irada: White could probably have salvaged this game as late as move 70 simply by giving up the bishop rather than the rook for Black's d-pawn. This leaves ♖+♗+♙ vs. ♖+♙+♙, which should be drawn with best play.

(And perhaps even stronger was 70. Rb6; indeed, almost anything is preferable to the passive text.)

On the other hand, the history of the game to this point doesn't suggest that "best play" was likely, so this may be merciful.
