Jul-17-06  Bobwhoosta: Well played opposite colored ending, with rooks on it sometimes gets pretty tough!
Apr-19-08  lost in space: From my point of view the game is even or even slightly better for black at move 31. White gets advantage around move 38. Best way to play it for Black: 38. Nd5 Ra2+ 39. Kd3 Ra3 40. Rb2 Bxd5 41. cxd5 Be1 = or 39. Kc1/d1 Rxd2 40. Kxd2 Bxd5 41. exd5 e4! 42. Bxe4 Kd4 =
Nov-25-17  ardeejo: If someone plays with Black and don't know how to make use of his Bishop in the dark square he shouldn't try Sicilian -statutory warning.
Oct-27-20  saturn2: Why not play 38...Bxd5 for instance? When Black took the Nd5 at nove 46 it was too late because this knight had grabbed the f6 pawn in the meantime.
Oct-27-20  Granny O Doul: Playing for the win beyond the point of wisdom, I expect.
