|
| Jul-02-02 | | borgianus: I mean not exactly winning, but not lost. After 40. Kd2 I think black is not lost at all. I think black deserved more than a zero. |

| Oct-16-02 | | Outcast Searcher: Huh? Borgianus, after 41 Kd2, it's just a matter of whether black can get a perpetual check (which IMO he clearly can't). Otherwise Dreev simply walks the b pawn in. The endgame is the only part of chess I can actually claim to have a bit of decent knowledge in, and this looks pretty textbook to me. After one more spite check from e8, Kc7 beautifully prevents any more of that.
Do you have a line from black's 41 in mind that could have prevented white from walking the pawn in, or at least the K toward the b pawn, and then the pawn in? |
