Feb-12-07  Tomlinsky: White wins the h pawn with Nf5+ and black cannot make progress against king and knight while white creates a passed pawn on the king side. Play it out against an engine.

  GrahamClayton: If 30...♘d8, White plays 31.♘a3 with the unstoppable threat of 32.♘xb5 and 33.a6, when the a-pawn can't be stopped from queening.

If Black's knight wasn't so poorly placed on b7, he would have a defendable position.
