Dr. J: <patzer2>thanks for the credit, but no, I wasn't one of those who came up with the best line. At least my line was faster than <TheaN>'s ...

Dr. J: PART 1 <Dr. J: <al wazir & JohnBoy: 25.Ka1 Qe5 26.Qc3 Qxc327. bxc3 Nxc2+ 28.Kb2 Nxe1 29.Rxe1 Nxf3 30 gxf3 . Black is up one . Not very conclusive.> I agree. White is about to take the 7th rank, which should give some real drawing chances. Crafty's -1.5 evaluation looks ...

Dr. J: <Once> (or anyone): How does White win after 46 ...fxe5, e.g., 47 Nxe5+ Kg7 48 Nxg4 Nxd5+ 49 Rxd5 Rxa2; or 47 d6 g3 48 d7 g2 49 d8=Q Rxd8 50 Nxd8+ Ke8?

Dr. J: I've just done an analysis of 30 ... Nxb6 that I find extraordinary in that it seems White can essentially force the play for more than 20 moves! Anyone care to rip it to shreds? Here goes: 30 ...  xb6 31

Dr. J: <The Bycote> Very nice. The crucial difference is that in your extended line the e6-pawn is not defended.

Dr. J: My preferred solution was a slight transposition from the game continuation: <22 b6 axb6 23 cxb6  b7> and now 24 bxc7 with the variations: (A) 24 ...

|
Dr. J: <PhilFeeley> Alekhine himself explained it in his book, saying that Bogolyubov was right to concede the a-pawn and not the d5 square.
