Proving white is lost after 19.Ne3 is not possible, at least not possible with my understanding of chess and with the current state of chess computers, although you are correct that it is better than the alternatives. However it is my judgement that white is probably still lost. Postal chess can be VERY unforgiving of mistakes and white has made several to get to move 19 in this game. I am not able to play this out at this time. Right now all my effort is going into my remaining games in US13F. It might be intersting to see how computer-computer matches go after 19.Ne3, but this would not be any sort of "proof" either. Regards, Robin
