He could at least have drawed, but could he have won? after 32...Rc2 33.Rf1 Qd2 34.Rg2 Qxg2+ 35.Rxg2 Rxg2+ 36.Kxg2 Bxa4 Krabbe gives Bg6! with a draw: Rxf1 38.Rxf1 Bc2 39.Ke2 a4 40.Kd2 Bb1 41.d4 a3 42.Kc1 Bd3 43.dxe5 dxe5 44.c5 and black is locked up. However, I don't see why black has to play Rxf1? Rf4 Rxf4 (what else?) exf4 and now the white king must stop 2 passed pawns, so he will have to remove his bishop to block it, untangling black. What am I missing here? One of the stronger players wants to point it out? -- GCP
