| Jan-15-06 | | gmgomes: The critical moment here was move 41. Both players were at severe time trouble when they "saved" move 40; then after 10 mins. white played Rd4, thinking that black would not trade rooks, because he would promote first - black took 10 mins. to exchange and show this final nice sequence. |

Posting the same message under different IDs seems to kind of, uh, defeat the whole purpose. Btw - dude, don't you ever sleep?? |

| Jan-16-06 | | JBF: Opening explorer gives 12.Bd2 as a novelty. I think the positional threat on d3 and the tempi black gains to release the c pawn gives them an edge. Even they saying that was under time pressure, Giovanni played the ending very confidently. |

| Jan-17-06 | | hintza: Yes! Some of them are great. I love the Morozevich ones from San Luis for some reason. |

| Jan-18-06 | | dakgootje: post scriptum: picture taken after 28. ♖d1? |

| Jan-19-06 | | Caissanist: <gmgomes> My apologies. Morpstau has been posting slightly different versions of the same comment on a number of pages here, I thought this was another instance of him doing that. |

 | | Mateo: <gmgomes> I see 3 blunders from the Black Side in the Rook + Knight ending. 1) 30. Nd4? loses a pawn.
2) 40. Kd3? loses another pawn.
3) 41. Rd4? Loses without no doubt the game. He should have kept Rooks. |
|
| Jan-30-06 | | gmgomes: <Mateo: I see 3 blunders from the Black Side in the Rook + Knight ending.> I had the same impression; I thought white could have holded it, if rooks were kept.
In a first view 41. Rd4? looks OK, but it leaves to non stopable pawn promotion for black..
Thanks. |
