There were a few interesting games at the ICC author's tourney today, one was
Amateur-Yace.
Yace plays 44...e5?,
[D]1B6/4k2p/1p2p1p1/1P3p2/P2b1Pn1/1B4P1/6KP/8 b - - 0 44
which seems to give white hopes of doing damage along the a file. Amateur was
very happy here, but overplayed his hand with 48.a6.
[D]8/B1k4p/1p4p1/PP2np2/3b4/1B4P1/6KP/8 w - - 0 48
That traps the bishop, the pawn can't advance, and black looks winning after
48...Ng4 followed by Nxh2.
However, after black gobbles the trapped bishop, it appears to give away the win
(not sure) with 69...g4. Thereafter, black's knight is pinned to either the
king or pawn, and cannot move. I wonder if any program shows a draw score after
g4.
