Oh yeah. I did not see that, but the discovered check by White will be lethal to us. :smile:

54...Ke4 Kf2 doesn't looks great to me.
[QUOTE=henryzz;387034]Assuming you meant Rf5+
53.Rf7 Ne6
54.Rf5+ Kg4
55.Kf2

55...Ng7
56.Rb5 Kh3
57.Kg1 Bd4+
58.Kh1 Kg4
59.Kg2 and mate is assured

55...Bd4
56.Kg2 mate is assured

55...Nd4
56.h3+ Kxh3
57.Rh5+ mate is assured

I can also find mate for Nf4 but not yet for Be1+. Of course neither are good.

I find it weird how I get into sessions of being able to think loads about a position fairly well. I am having to record where I am upto today but doing well. Keep finding escapes for me to refute.[/QUOTE]

While they can force mate after 54...Kg4 as you analyse, David, I think we still have to play it. As Paul says, the discovered check after 54...Kg6 is lethal - they can simply take off our bishop with it. If we had to play 54...Kg6 and give up a piece, it would be more sensible to just resign. Ergo, 54...Kg4 is the only move in my opinion. They then have to demonstrate that they can see how to finish us off.

Let's do Kg4 but I think resigning is in our future....

So based on participation so far we have:

Paul: 54...Kg4 (but possibly changed opinion?)
David: 54...Kg6 (suggested, not clearly chosen)
Brian: 54...Kg4
Rich: 54...Kg4

Should that list of votes be modified or clarified?
