mathijs> Doesn't 38...Kf8? drop a knight?

 

Correct. That's one problem with the move, which is why in the Move List I suggested 38...Kh8 as an improvement.

Doesn't 38...Kf8? drop a knight? After 38...Kh8 39.Nf7+ Kg7 The discovered check doesn't amount to much.

Black made some crazy moves in there, one in particular which I believe lost the game: 33.Nc2? He should be thinking about White's Knight and Rook attack, not his own little plans. He can't get much out of it anyway, if he does execute his plans.

JackC and greyfox, thank you. I'm always glad when someone besides myself finds these articles interesting or helpful.

very interesting endgame for both sides. many thanks again likesforests you are truly helpful in improving our games.

Thanks for sharing. These endings are very helpful! Really appreciate all your efforts to educate us.

Thank you likeforests!  Very nice!  And in an environment where bluedevil knight, temposchlucker, and you are all already posting here, I cannot help but note that this is forcing me to re-engage here, and resusitate my password from June!  Himm?

 

It is such a nice pleasure to have a friend put ones ending on the web, and so skillfully executed and commentated!

 

Of course, as I have already said, I was clearly lost, but then again, it was a bullet game (0/4) AND had many, many latter places to go wrong and scalped a win and mate.  :)  Thank you.

 

Lastly, as I said here, I was writing a post that I was just finishing just as I recieved notice of below.  What happened?  I was writing it with you first and foremost in mind.  The biomorphogenic field of Rupert Sheldrake!
