José, The inicial position of the game Leitao x Jansen: ra8, pa6, ka5, Bd3, Kd2, and black plays. The continuation: 61...Rc8 62.Kd1 Rc6 63. Be4 Rc3 64. Bc2 Kb4 65. Kc1 Rg3 66. Kb1 Ka3 67. Ka1 a5 68. Bb1 Rg2 69. Bd3 Rh2 70. Bb1 Rd2 71. Bf5 Ra2+ 72. Kb1 Rf2 73. Be4 Re2 74. Bg6 Re1+ 75. Kc2 Re6 76. Bf7 Rb6 77. Bd5 Rb5 78. Bf7 Rb2+ 79. Kc1 Rf2 80. Be6 Kb4 81. Kb1 Kc3 82. Ka1 Rf4 83. Bd5 Kc2 84.

Be6 a2 116. Bxa2 Ka3 117. Bb1 1/2-1/2 I believe that the game was draw from the moment where the white king can have access to the square a1, and I am not certain, but I think that the bad move was 64... Kb4,(64...Rc8 or Rc7 seemed better) do you agree? >That way we can find where Janssen spoiled the win (perhaps the final position >was not drawn!). Best regards, Paulo Soares, from Brazil
