Hello Mr. Mourik, I have an improvement in your _Mailine_ I think you'll like it! I used Fritz6 to check your analysis. Fritz 6 - McCracken,T [A45] Level=60ply. MyTown, 22.06.2001 40.Na2 Na5 41.Bd2 Bb3 42.Bxb3 Nxb3 43.Bc3 Nb5 44.d5+ Nxc3 45.Nxc3 Nc1 -1.06/15 1 46.d6 -1.47/16 26 Kf8 -1.19/16 13 47.Nd5 -1.09/17 1:07 Ke8 -1.09/15 14 48.Nb4 -1.37/17 38 a2 -1.47/17 19 49.Nc2 -1.28/14 2 Nb3 -1.50/17 29 50.Ke4 -2.09/17 28 a1Q -2.34/16 27 51.Nxa1 -2.25/15 3 Nxa1 -2.22/14 2 Line White crumbles quickly, no need of a Q vs Q pawn ending!! Keep up the Good Work! It Really Helps, Thanks! Regards, Terry ------------------ Unfortunately The Web is confused on this position! There is _No_ win after 40..f5? a poor move that Fritz6 and I'm sure other programs make...grrr! Junior6 sees 40..Na5! it may not see the win, but the right move! Regards, Terry
