Jul-28-07		An Englishman: Good Evening: In our Opening of the Day, this endgame sequence after 41.Kf1 is aesthetically highly pleasing. I like how the Black King smothers the Bishop.

Jul-28-07		Gilmoy: 51.fxe3 Kg3 52.<any> Kf3 (defends e2) and Black's d-pawn queens (or rooks :) with mate.

Jul-29-11		ToTheDeath: Great zugzwang!

Apr-04-12		ossipossi: Black is two bishops ahead all the game!

Apr-04-12		joupajou: After 38. ..d4. White bishop is trapped in the corner, useless piece now. click for larger view I don't like 39.Ke2, because after 39. ..e3+ he practically lost this game. What about 39.a4?

Apr-04-12		Llawdogg: Thanks Gilmoy, for the finish.

Apr-04-12		Penguincw: The puns have been excellent recently.

Apr-04-12		gofer: <joupajou> I think <39 f3> leads to a draw. Black has no control over the light squares and so the white LSB and king can easily stop the two central pawns.

Apr-04-12		kevin86: A rare win with bishops of opposite colors-with equal pawns-thanks to zugzwang.

Apr-04-12		SuperPatzer77: Black to play and win - see diagram below: click for larger view Black forces White's resignation with 50...e3!. White resigns in lieu of 51. fxe3 g3! (cutting off the White ), 52. g5 f3 (protecting e2), 53. g6 d2, 54. g1 d1=+, 55. h2 e2+ mate in two moves SuperPatzer77

Apr-06-12		SuperPatzer77: White to move after 48...h2 - see diagram below: click for larger view Instead of 49. xe4, 49. g4 (worth a try) d2! d1=+, 50. e2 xg2 (winning the White bishop), 51. gxf5 d1=+!, 52. xd1 xf2 e3 - e2 - e1= SuperPatzer77
