Both of these very strong players thought they saw a <FORTRESS> but the engine says there is none.

From a practical point of view, I do not understand this at all. Just take the damn queen and make your opponent *prove* that there actually is a fortress and that he can hold it.

Oct-20-16  Mr. V: What fortress did they think they saw?
Oct-31-16  Prudov: <Chesstorian72: Why didn't this patzer take the queen??> and why did he not try again by 28. h4? White wins at least a piece by 28. … Qe6 29. Rd5 Nf6 30. Rb6 Rb2 31. Rb2 Nd5 32. Qd5
