halito27: Am I the only one questioning this? In the game, if white plays 40. Nxd8 Rxg3+ 41. Qxg3 Qxg3+ 42. Kf1, white has two rooks and a knight for the queen and I don't see a win for black. 42. Qd3+ Kf1 43. Nf4 is simply met by 43. ...Ra2 & I don't see any mates. Other white tries at move |

|
halito27: <King.Arthur.Brazil> Thanks for responding: I like the basic idea for black, but white has some tactics. In your line, after 35...c5 36 f6! is stronger than your Ke2, threatening both Rg7+ and Rxd5. If we exchange white's f-pawn for black's d-pawn, black has a simple 3-to-2 ... |

Aug-01-21 Nunn vs A Pope, 1972 
|
halito27: Blunder was unfortunate, but White's attack pretty much petered out before it. Once black gets the rook on g8 and knight f8, I don't see any way for white to press it. In fact, Black prob already has an edge, due to the active pieces and extra pawn. Not exactly sure where Nunn's ... |

halito27: <NBZ> I've been doing the same! A nice extra: you can then play out the position on the Analysis Board. Note to CG: I would still PREFER to have our engine fixed! |

May-26-21 I Ibragimov vs Brodsky, 1991 
|
halito27: <agb2002> C.2) "55... Nxf5 56.Nf8+ Kg7 57.Ne6+ wins decisive material." This endgame is actually pretty hard to win: black's going to have four connected pawns in exchange for the rook. White should be better, but knight + rook vs. knight + 4 pawns is not an automatic win. ... |
