 Subject: question about Leko-Short Wijk aan Zee 2005Message: Hi, I've got a question about a game between those two players that was played in Wijk aan Zee and annotated by Leko in New In Chess 2(2005). After reaching that position 4n1k1/5p2/B5p1/p1RPr2p/8/5P1P/P5P1/6K1 it's white to move and he moves d6. Leko gives his move a ! and writes about it" Black resigned. On 37 ... Rc5 comes 38) d7, and because of the sepcial construction the pawn will queen in the next move." I don't get this... Who says, as black you're supposed to take on c5?? Why not give a check on e1, gaining the tempo to get behind the pawn? And indeed, that is what Fritz suggests. But here's another strange thing. Fritz recomends the following line: 37) ... Re1+ 38) Kf2 Rd1 39) Rc8 Rxd6 Excuse me??? Why that? Why not simply 39) ... Kf8 and then Rxd6? Can anyone enlighten me? |
