| This looks like a draw after 43 ... Nc3+ 44 Kd2 (weak is 44 Kc2 Nxe2) Ne4+! (not 44 ... Nxe2 45 Qxc4) and now 45 Kd1!! Nc3+ but not 45 Ke1 Qf2+ 46 Kd1 Qxd4+ 47 Ke1 (47 Kc2 Qc3+ 48 Kd1 Nf2 mate) Qg1+ 48 Bf1 Qf2+ and Black wins. On 43 Kd2 c3+! 44 Ke1 Nxd4! is very dangerous for White. On 43 Ke1 Qg3+, White's situation has not improved. (Have a question? Ask GM Rohde! Not all questions can be answered, but the Grandmaster will pick selected topics to cover live from e-mail received.) |   |
