Hi Scott!

I am still rather exhausted from the last two days and therefore was not yet
able to have a deeper look at Hossa's games. In our game I dont know yet how
Hossa would have won if Monsoon did not play 33.Kg3.

[D]8/N1p4k/8/P3Rr2/1P2pr2/3p3P/3Rb1PK/8 w

Here Hossa expected 33.Re6 during the game with a draw score. Can anybody see
something better for black??

Greetings,
Steffen.

Yes, I love that hardware. Thanx a lot to Alex Kure who organized this machine
for CCT5. Unfortunately I have to give it back in two days. Until then Hossa
stays online at ICC if you want to play him.

Best wishes,
Steffen.
