Jan-08-06 Korchnoi vs Balashov, 1971 
| |
| headmutant7: <patzer2> After another half hour (ugh!) 20.Qxd3 is definitely more clear, though I believe with sharp play 20.Bxf8 would require black to play perfectly to survive. This is why I quit playing...this took an hour and a half out of my life because I get too involved (I do ... |

| |
| headmutant7: <Averageguy> I think we've shown that 26...e2 doesn't work. 26...Qc5 is probably correct, though after further inspection, 26...Bxf6 works in the long run. But it is a lot more complicated than 26...Qc5. |

| headmutant7: <rvade> BTW, I think 24.Ne7+ works very nicely. |

| |
| headmutant7: <brainzugzwang> 39.Rh5 should stop the mate and White remains a Queen up. |
