Nov-17-09  ounos: 6. Qb6 lol!!!!
Nov-17-09  ounos: See how much progress White made with moves 43...47. In the same time, Black moved the rook from b6 aaall the way to e5!
Nov-17-09  PinnedPiece: Maybe 50.Nf7 lasts for white
Nov-22-09  DeepFriedLiver: <PinnedPiece> 50. Nf7! That's a powerful long-jumping knight you've got there! Mine can only make it to e7.

51. Nf7+ doesn't help much either:

51. Nf7+ Ke7
52. Rd2 Ne3

and white is going to lose a piece no matter what.

Nov-25-09  PinnedPiece: <DFL> Thanks for correcting a rather dumb suggestion.
Nov-09-12  master of defence: What´s wrong with 51.Rxf6 Kxe5 52.Rf3?
Aug-01-14  Ke2: Utterly bizarre treatment of the Chekover. However, it makes a huge risk of a draw for the World Number One, so that's cool.
