Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-22-07  Benzol: Glad this fascinating encounter has finally been sorted out. A game that does credit to both players.
Feb-23-07  nescio: When I played over this game in my mind searching for the mistake in the score I had the impression that Black was better. Now I can see that perhaps he should have played 48...Rb5, effectively hindering the capture on a5. After 49.Rxa5 he can exchange rooks and then play the knight to d5 via e7. 49.Nxa5 can be answered with 49...Rxa5 50.Rxa5 b3!
Apr-04-07  nescio: Going over this game once again I think that the result is even more illogical than I thought. I initially rejected 61...e3 (instead of 61...Ne5) because I thought, as perhaps did Kelly, that the knight was needed to stop the h-pawn and wouldn't come back in time. But after 61...e3! 62.Bxe3 Nxe3+ 63.Kc1 d2+ 64.Nxd2 cxd2+ 65.Kxd2 Nc4+ 66.Kc2 Ne5 the knight does come back in time and Black wins easily. Do I overlook something?
