  JointheArmy: Great endgame technique from Vitugov.

Nice to see these "drawn" endings played out.

Feb-06-14  mrbasso: Weak endgame technique from Ganguly. There are several ways to draw this endgame.
Feb-08-21  chessdumdum: It was perfectly drawable up until Ganguly blundered 58. Kh6?? which allows Nd3 to lock up the bishop to be eventually exchanged for a pawn (b4 - b5). The bishop had to move to a3 to control c1, otherwise the knight on c1 would have been able to win either the pawn on a2 or b3.
