| |
| sangfroid: After 38. ♗xe6 h4 39. ♗xh4 ♖xh4 40. ♖xb7 ♖xc3, and then after the a pawn falls you've got yourself a textbook a and c file (or h and f file) pawn w/ rook versus rook draw. A good article on this type of ending can be found at: ... |

Nov-16-03 Van Wely vs Leko, 1996
| |
| sangfroid: Could some one so me the draw? I just don't see it. Can't white continue to check the black king with his queen, until it comes closer and closer towards the king, threatening to fork the pawn and king if the king dosen't move to the c1 square, and since black can't promote the ... |

| sangfroid: After 37... Qf2+ 38. Qxf2 Rxe8, black is left with a hopeless end game |

Aug-05-03 Botvinnik vs Fischer, 1962
| |
| sangfroid: 17... Qxf4 is a brilliant move. Purely a typical fischer mover we have here. The direct exchange of queens leaves black with a loss of a peice, for after 17 ... Nxc5 18. exf6, and now what you have is a pawn attacking a bishop, and a bishop attacking an unprotected night, with no ... |

| |
| sangfroid: How about 34... Ng6? it looses the knight after 35. Rg8+, but it saves the king for a misserable ending. |

Jul-03-03 Kasparov vs Smirin, 1988
| |
| sangfroid: Kasparov probably prepared with a 'pre-set positional mate' where if he is able to get 3 open files with a bishop and a queen, vs the oppenents opposite color bishop and king, has a guarentee win or something like that. |

| sangfroid: Why not 61. Bf3 Doesn't that seem to be a bit stronger of a move? |

Jun-30-03 Kramnik vs Kasparov, 2003
| |
| sangfroid: I beleive that Kramnik was playing for the draw with his knight luring the h pawn maneuver. I personally belive that Kasparov has a nice defense going for him, and has the better side towards a nice end game with his well placed peices. Anyways, after the Bxh6 sacrafice, it is ... |
