  An Englishman: Good Evening: 33...Ne5 was a fine little trap; if the Queen snatches the pawn, ...Rd7-g7+ and ...Rg7-h7+ forces the perpetual, because any move to the f-file by the White King loses after ...Rf7.
May-05-14  morfishine: White Miessed something
May-05-14  paramount: Okay,
Queen and pawn v rook and knight and 2 pawns.

Of course this isnt usual ending. And I see this is hard for both sides. But isnt white have a chance to win it??

what is the drawish line?? I dont see a one.>......

May-05-14  morfishine: How bout 30.gxh7+ Qxh7 31.Qxh7+ Kxh7
32.Rf3 or 30.gxh7+ Qxh7 31.Qxh7+ Rxh7+ 32.Kg2

*****

May-05-14  snarky: Why not 52. Qh8 with the threat of Qd4+ to follow if the rook takes the pawn?
May-05-14  snarky: Oh. never mind...the response to 52. Qh8 would be Nb6.

I guess that's point of the pun.

May-05-14  kevin86: The knight is sure agile- isn't it? lol
May-05-14  shivasuri4: <morfishine>, 30.gxh7+ loses immediately to 30...Rxh7.
May-05-14  abuzic: <22...Ne2+?>
Black missed 22...Nxb2 23.Rb1 Nc4

<25.Bh3>
White missed 25.Rxf8+ Kxf8 26.Bf1 Nd4 27.Bxd4 Rxd4 28.Rxd3

May-05-14  morfishine: <shivasuri4> Of course, how could I miess that?
May-06-14  weisyschwarz: Excellent pun! :-D
