Welcome to the club. *Posted by Howard Exner on July 23, 1998 at 04:12:38: *40.cxd4 Rxc6 41. d7 Ra6+ 42. Kb3 Rb6+ 43. Kc4 Rb8 44. Kc5 *and now I can't even see how Black can draw. It looks like a *composed problem. a5 looks like a win but it is an illusion. *I tried g6 and g5 and Kf8 and all lose. Uri Blass also found that white wins in this line. This will make a nice position for testing computers to see if black avoids entering this particular sequence of moves.
