  HeMateMe: Lotsa work. white finally boxes out the Bishop. Not to be too picky, but can't white win faster by just letting black give up the bishop for the pawn, and then checkmate black with Bishop and Knight?

Are there GMs who can't do this?

May-31-10  Zkid: <HeMateMe> White was trying to win the bishop for the pawn. I don't see when he could've done it earlier (e.g. 107. a8=Q? Bxa8 Nxa8+ Kb7 and black wins one of the pieces back) but at the end 119... Kd8/7 Nc7 is decisive. I also don't see how white can "box out" the bishop and promote the pawn as long as black leaves his bishop on a8 when white threatens Nb7.

On a note:
81..Kc6? seems way worse than Ka7, even if Ka7 loses also (hard to say) because it's hard for white to advance his pawn. Normally he'd do Bb6+ and then a6, but the h3 pawn makes that impossible. (even if he moves his king to g1 or such to get the h3 pawn, it doesn't work; after Bb6+ Ka/b8 a6 black has Bxa6! drawing)

Oct-10-11  Xeroxx: white managed to win
Apr-28-18  joddon: this is the craziest ending I ever seen...out of all the games I think only when Fischer and Petrossian played were theyre eding filled with such a doom state of consciousness.....looks how the knight is jumping everywhere...must have been in time pressure too....great game!!
