why is 29. a6 an exclamation mark move? i would prefer 29. b5, which is also an
easy win for white. i agree of course, that this ending is so winning and that
exchanging into this rook endgame is a good idea.

BTW, i'm rated 100 points lower than vincent, and i would win this blindfolded
too. it's not crap, that with the blindfolded!
