| Breunor: Ok guys I know about Route 66. What does it have to do with the game? Is it as silly as the G in Garry and the G middle name for Beliavsky and 2 G?s become 66? |

Jun-12-21 Matthew Tan vs Ulibin, 2008
| |
| Breunor: According to Stockfish on 100 fuel, there isn't a winning move. Not sure why I'm getting a different result from Mel Gibson. Maybe you ran it longer, this is a 15 minute run: I see:
1) -0.63 (32 ply) 19...c5 20.Qb3 cxd4 21.Qxb6 axb6 22.Nxd4 Rc4 23.Nf3 g5 24.Ne5 Bxe5 25.Rxe5 Kf7 ... |

| Breunor: I found the first few moves quickly.
Idea - black can win if he plays Qxe3.
So idea 2, move the defending queen. So Rb4 does the job. Queen moves, then Rxb2 ch. |
