Jul-16-10  mafia1: how ?
Jul-16-10  whiteshark: <mafia1> It's just an impression I had for the ♕♖♖/♕♖endgame during the live transmission.

Welcome to <chessgames.com>, btw. Hope you enjoy your stay here. :D

Jul-17-10  apexin: white could have tried a positional squizlle with h5 and then h6, but black has Qf4+ with a drawn rook endgame.
Jul-17-10  Bridgeburner: Instead of <20. Qf5+??>, which blows the win, White had <20. a4!>:

and Black has to completely compromise his position to prevent the pin on the piece at c5 from losing a piece.

For example:

<20. a4 Kd7 (or Kd8) 21. a5 Ke7 22. Nd4!! (threatening 23. Nf5+)>

wins (22...exd4 23. cxd4 Rc8 24. axb6 Rxb6 25. Rbc1 Qd6 26. Rd1); or

<20. a4 a5 21. Nxc5 bxc5 22. Rb5:

(i) 22...Rc6 23. Rcxc5! Rxc5 24. Qf5+ Kd8 25. Qxf6+ Kd7 26. Qf7+>:

leads to an easily won QP ending

(ii) 22. Rhd8 23. Qg4+ R8d7 24. h4 Rc6 25. Qg8+ followed by 26. Qxh7 wins:

eg:

<25...Qd8 26. Qxh7> followed by the capture of the a or c pawn and White is two pawns up with a winning ending; or

<25...Rd8 26. Qxh7 Rd1+ 27. Kh2 Kd8 28. h5 > or <27...Qe7 28. h5 >
