Aug-07-11  Kinghunt: Ouch. Esserman tries to play an endgame when Lenderman had his mind set on mate.
Aug-07-11  Gilmoy: <26.Kxf1> produces a charmingly symmetric position:

Ironically, Black to move wins <because> White has "more space" -- hence White's Q is too close to the Black pawn wall, and the symmetric move 27.Qg6 was never an option for White. In contrast, Black has room for <26..Qg5>, and his N has a check.

Could White to move hold a draw?

  profK: The black knight is a real pest...White was exchanging, which unlike what you might expect, weakened his position. C2 or C4 would be great spots for the white queen but alas THAT Knight...Ouch
