im sorry i dont have the expertise to post a chess board with the positions, but this will only take a couple of minutes and a few pieces to set up. You figure this out. As far as i am concerned, it is a dead draw. CM10 Schumacher is playing white, and SlowChess Blitz is playing black. White has: pa7, Qd3, Ke2, and black has: Qa6, Kf2, pf3. Black to move. If black moves Qxp, someone show me how white can possibly win this game. Under any circumstances. Here is what transpired: instead of Qxp black replies Qc6, followed by Qh7+, Ke3, Qg8+, Kf5, Qg3, Qe6+, Qe3, Qa2+, Kf1. At this point the game ends and chessbase gives the victory to Schumacher. Personally i think victory is still problematic, but when u set it up, Fritz 8 disagrees with me. At any rate someone out there show me where Slow Blitz did not blow a dead draw by moving Qxp, instead of Qc6. Without that pawn, how can white win. A TERRIBLE BLUNDER. I admit SlowChess Blitz is not Shredder 9, but it is way too strong to blunder this badly. I have looked at this till my eyes have crossed. Show me where i am wrong. Regards, George
