Kf3 Qb3+ 40. Ke4 Qb1+ 41. Rd3 c4 leads to the same result: 42.Ne7+ Kf8 43. Qh6+ Bg7 44. Rf2+ Ke8 45. Qg6+ Kd7 46. Qe6+ Kc7 47. Qc8+ Kb6 48. Qd8+ Kb5 49. Qd7+ Ka5 50. Nc6+ Kb6 51. Qd8+ Kc5 52. Qa5+ b5 53. Qa3+ Kb6 54. Qa5+ with perpetual.      Dec-28-23 Ehlvest vs L Schandorff, 1983    mdz: Comedy of errors at the end. First, W, instead of winning with 33.Rxe6 Qd5+ 34.Qxd5 Rxd5 35.Re8+ Kf7 36.Rxb8, plays 33.Qxe6+ which gains a draw at best. Then, W instead of fighting for a draw with 37.Qxc5, plays 37.Re5 which loses to 37...Qd6 38.Qg5+ Kg7 39.Re7+ Kf8. Then B, instead of ...      Oct-01-21 Mamedyarov vs A Adly, 2008    mdz: If B plays 20...Rg8, W has 21. Qh5 Qc7 22.

Re1+      Feb-05-16 Jobava vs L Galego, 2005    mdz: Just was going to post 25.Rxe6 fe 26.Rd5 cd 27.Bxg7+ Kxg7 28.Qg6+ Kh8 29.Bg8 Rxg8 30.Qh6# but then saw that pogo5 posted it already 10 years ago :) Baadur missed 26.Rd5      May-21-14 E Magerramov vs V Malaniuk, 1989    mdz: another cute line (after 18.Rxd4 Bxd4 19.Rd1): 19...e3 20.Rxd4 e2 21.Qxe2 Qxd4 22.Qe7 Qd7 23.Bd5+ Kh8 24.Bb2+      Oct-05-13 J N Sugden vs Keene, 1963    mdz: There are at least 2 more ways to win (after 23. Rf6). Instead of 28. Rf7, W also wins with 28.d6 Ke8 29. e6 fe 30. Re7+ Kd8 31.Qg8x Instead of 29. e6, W also wins with 29. Qg7+ Ke8 30. Qf8+ Kd7 31.e6+ Kc7 32.Qe7x      Aug-03-11 V Akobian vs I Abdelnabbi, 2000    mdz: W missed mate in 2: 26.Qf6 Qd4 27.Rh8x      Jan-17-07 R Jamieson vs Unzicker, 1976    mdz: "the end": 31...Rfe7 or Rf8 32.Nxf6+ gf (32...Rxf6 33.Qxe8+) 33.Qh8+ Kf7 34.Rh7x
