  Penguincw: 44.Rch5 was a costly move, as it conceded the c-file, which black took advantage of immediately. I'm not really sure what the point of piling up on h7, which is guarded well.

46...Qxh6 was a nice queen sac that black took advantage of immediately. I think 48.Rxh7+ didn't help white's situation. The best move at that point would be 48.Qb2 Rc3 49.Re6 (preventing Re7 and Ne5, as 49.Qb1 Ne5) Rxd3+ 50.Ke2 Rd2+ 51.Qxd2 Nxd2 52.Kxd2, and black is up 2 pawns, but most of the pawns are seperate from one another.

May-13-15  CountryGirl: This reversed Benoni set-up seems easier to play for black.
May-15-15  Ferari: Penguincw Actually 48.Qb2 also loses easily. Black has 48...Rc1+! (not your suggested 48...Rc3?), then 49. Qxc1 Rxc1+, 50. Kxc1 g3! wins easily.

  FSR: I tried to submit <If I Had a Hammer> as a pun for this game, but someone beat me to it.
