| |
| Sredni Vashtar: <mcgrath999: cant wite still win with 23 kf1 Qc1+ 24 kg2 ..?> Yes, and even faster with 23.Kf1 Qe2+ 24. Kxe2, since Qe2+ is about the only move the black could make that is even more stupid than Qc1+. FYI, the draw is achieved by the black keeping his Q on b1-h7. |

Jun-14-07 Hort vs V Zheliandinov, 1967
| |
| Sredni Vashtar: <al wazir> It also could mean that a 2200+ player ( Jan Cervenka ) would finish off a 2600+ player (Fritz), given enough time for 50+ moves. I wonder whether my proposed strategy (exchange the isolated pawns, bishops, and rooks. Keep one knight, then use it to pick off ... |

| |
| Sredni Vashtar: Indeed Kg3 is clearly superior to Kg1; the explanation was given by <Dick Brain> on the first page of the comments: <Kg3 is simpler than what was played since it protects [against] the check on g4>. I missed both. |

| Sredni Vashtar: For the benefit of those who cannot be bothered to read the prior postings and keep posting ideas that were refuted multiple times: Perpetual check idea starting with 34 ... Qe1+ is refuted by 35.Kg2 (see <whatthefat> and <cu8sfan>, page 1 of comments). 34.Rf1 ... |

| |
| Sredni Vashtar: <WarmasterKron> OK, I propose to agree to disagree on the distinction between the blunder and inaccuracy. Other than that, I don't have any issues with your argument and certainly agree that no ! is deserved by Rxf4. And I am not going to bicker about the distinction ... |

Jun-11-07 Movsesian vs U Boensch, 1999
| |
| Sredni Vashtar: Difficult for Monday - requires deeper analysis than usual (3 moves instead of 1-2). The Rxe6 blunder may appear attractive, and also requires a couple moves to be considered in order to see that it fails. But deeper analysis is hard to avoid if only a piece is at stake, and ... |
