Qc1# 1-0 Sorry that I missed your mention of 51.bxa6. It appears that you are correct about 50...Nxd4, but it looks like Chessmaster would have to get up to at least depth 25 from that position to see that it is a worse move than 50...axb5. On my AMD2500, this would likely take well over an hour. And it sure doesn't look like you made any mistakes that would cause me to criticize. The only moves that The King disagrees with on analysis are 54.h5 and 55.h6, in both cases preferring Kf3. But I doubt that made any difference. jm
