Congrats Stefan,

great game, interesting position. IsiChess finds Rxe6 after 16 seconds with draw
score, but discards it after 30 seconds with slight minus, switches to Rhe1 and
Kg2 (4 minutes) and stays with it.

I guess it a matter of evaluating three connected passers after

26.Rxe6+ fxe6 27.Qxe6+ Re7 28.Qg6+ Kd8 29.Re1 Nc8 30.Qxf5 Qd7 31.Re6

[D]2nk4/1p1qr3/r1pbR3/p4QB1/P2P3P/2N2PPK/1P6/8 b - -

IsiChess wants to play Kc7 with slight +score.
Do you believe the three passers are stronger than the additional piece, even
after 31... Kc7 32.Bxe7 Nxe7 and further queen exchange?
Puhh, difficult to evaluate...

See you soon ;-)
Gerd
