Apr-12-02  The Young Learner: At move 49 I see no reason why white could not capture the b pawn, evening the game. Also white would never have been down if at move 21 he recaptured with the pawn. True, he would have bad pawn positioning but when the game comes down to a pawn losing one loses the game.

  Sneaky: It confuses me too. It seems as if White is afraid of an invasion like Kg4-Kh3-Kg2? I need to study these rook and pawn endings for a long time before I can reach a conclusion. Knight is good with R+P endings maybe he can explain it.
Apr-12-02  bishop: If White had recaptured with the c-pawn on his 21st move,Black would have a rook on the seventh rank a splendid post for his knight and a weak isolated white pawn to target,a big edge.If White had played 49.Rxb5 Black would exchange rooks and then played the troublesome move ...e3. White waited to take on b5 until ...e3 was no longer dangerous.

Sep-04-05  who: I take it 73...Ra2+ 74...exf3 also leads to a draw, but I am not sure if it's as clear as in the game.
