| DexterGordon: Wait, I think your (B) has the answer to why White plays b4 and c4, <black knight c6>. With the Black queen on b4, if 29...Rae7, then Ne6+ wins the queen. |

| DexterGordon: Very interesting! Thanks to everyone for their reflections on the strength and weaknesses of programs such as Rybka. I hadn't thought of the fact that computers may be weaker compared to humans in correspondence games, when time and fatigue are less of a factor. Personally I ... |

| DexterGordon: <tangobob>, so how does White continue after 35...Rc7? Is it as simple as 36. Rd7+ Rxd7 37. Qxd7+ Kg/h8 38. Bh6? |
