comes from the sliding rule. Quite tricky.

Sep-22-09  Garech: <whiteshark> Position after <54...Rxa6> is a TB win in 42 moves for white.

Lol really!!? Can you give the line please?

:D

Sep-26-09  4tmac: This interesting ending is theoretically an easy win. But when the Pawn is a Rook pawn, the K+R can sometimes set up a blockade. It is better to have the B of the color of the queening square but in most positions it does not much matter! (a good trick is to guard the N with P so that RxN will lead to a Knight Pawn) Anyway, in whiteshark's position, if the Black King were on c7 it is technically drawn. Black should try to set up a blockade by 65. ...Kf7. It would look like this:

If black could move again he would draw by moving to the g file. White can win by (only) h6!. There were a few neat positions that came up looking at some lines. I liked

when both RxN & Kg8 draw.

Sep-26-09  waustad: Even with this loss, Hammer has played well this tournament. He must be getting fairly close to 2600, which was really rare a few years ago.
