Jun-19-05  azaris: What happens after 16...Rxf7 17.Bxe6 Rxc3?
Jun-19-05  lopium: That ain't this line I guess. Maybe 16...Rxf7, then 17.Qxe6 Qe8, 18.Qxe7, if 18...Rxc4, then Qxb7, winning. Or if they exchange Queens, the same problem appear, with the rook menacing the b7 Bishop.
Aug-09-06  Helios727: 19. Qxb7 would not work because of 19... Rxb7
Aug-09-06  Helios727: Chessmaster gives the ending as:

16... Rxf7 17. Bxe6 Rxc3 18. d5 Bd6 19. Bxf7+ Kxf7 20. Bxf6 gxf6 21. Qh5+ Kg7 22. Rd4 Be5 23. Rh4 Qh8 24. d6 Bc6 25. Rd1 Rc5 26. Qg4+ Kf7 27. f4 Bxf4 28. Qxf4 h5 29. Qg4 Qh6 30. Qg3 Rg5 31.
