Here are my four games from the ICC Author's tourney played yesterday, together
with some postions for analysis.

Nd5 45. Rd7+ Kf6 46. Rxd5 Qxd5 47. Bd4+ Qxd4 48. cxd4 Nd2+ 49. Kb2 Nxb1 50.
Kxb1 Ke6 51. Kc2 g5 52. a4 b6 53. Kd3 Kd5 54. Ke3 a6 55. h3 b5 56. axb5 axb5
57. Kd3 b4 58. Kc2 Kxd4 59. Kb3 Kc5 60. Kc2 Kc4 {White resigns} 0-1
16. Qd2 ? (better is Be2) Qd2 allows black to open white's g-file, which
proves important later on.
28...Nf7?! Seems like Nf5 is better, but it turns out that after Be3 and the
pawn captures, that if the knight is on f7 rather than f5, it can then move to
g5 and equalize.
It appears to me that the move played in the position below, 34.c3, will lose
(see game moves). It's possible Rd3 will draw.
[d]6k1/pp5p/2n1n1p1/8/3B4/PQ6/2P1qP1P/3R2K1 w - - bm Rd3?

Rd8, which might lose)
[d]r1r3k1/1b3pp1/1P1RP3/p6p/2P5/2B1N3/1P4PP/7K b - - 0 37 bm Re8! (perhaps

After that, sjeng steadily outplayed amateur to win.
