Rhf1 Rxh2 29. Rh1 Rxh1 30. Rxh1 I think white is fine here. Not sure how the game would end up but black winning from here is unlikely. White is actually up material at a time in the game where it really counts - the endgame. Bravo for the King 2.54. Is that the same engine that is in CM5000? > >> >>I noticed Rebel 8 wanted to play Ke2 for a while but switched over to h5 >>and held on to h5. When does the King play Ke2? Does it hold on to it also?
