Black has a winning endgame. Still not easy and I still don't see why white resigned so early.
31. Ra7 {threat was ...a4} ... e4 32. exd4 c4! {can't take} 33. Rxa7 c3! 34. Ra1 Rxd4 then black will go Rd8-a8-a3-xb3 and be winning.

Originally posted by st40Although I have not yet finished my 6 pack (good call, by the way), my goal of using this thread as "fly paper" to distract all the BS posts from the legitimate chess threads has ended in abject failure, as I came to realize when I read the "Blind Chess" thread.
I don't think Paul's post was removed, I think he typed exactly what is still there, sat back, opened a six pack and watched to see what developed....
We may now draw the curtain on this little comical charade. Good night all!
