Jammes(1902) whispers: check check draw
Diboss(2130) whispers: I think this is a draw right? 49...Re3 (5:19)
Diboss(2130) whispers: but white will probably get the 2 connected passers 50.Rxd4 (0:31)

Jammes(1902) whispers: was
Diboss(2130) whispers: looks ok still 52...Kd7 (0:34)
Jammes(1902) whispers: yes, but white has the eaer path
Jammes(1902) whispers: s+
Minhaz(1676) whispers: White has weakness on both sides. So trading rooks will win it for black I think
Minhaz(1676) whispers: May be
Jammes(1902) whispers: no trade of rooks is lostfor black as long whites king is in the squatre
Funkmaus(2179) whispers: trade rooks wins for white ;) all he needs is to be in quadrat of h5-pawn at the moment of trade 53.Kd4 (2:30) Kc6 (0:06) 54.Rg4 (0:04)
Minhaz(1676) whispers: yes, then black pushes h pawn, white has to stop it
Minhaz(1676) whispers: the black's king gobbles up white's pawns
Minhaz(1676) whispers: and then?
Funkmaus(2179) whispers: black king cant gobble white pawns
Minhaz(1676) whispers: Oh yes
Minhaz(1676) whispers: Sorry didn't notice that :D
Minhaz(1676) whispers: Yes right c pawn promotes
Funkmaus(2179) whispers: right, covered passer has more power then a far away passer
Minhaz(1676) whispers: :D 54...h5 (2:22) 55.Rh4 (0:33) Rh6 (0:18) 56.Ke5 (0:09)
Diboss(2130) whispers: why would he put his rook there...
Jammes(1902) whispers: whats the route to glory for black
Diboss(2130) whispers: draw is the goal here for black 56...Rh8 (2:16) 57.Kf5 (0:14)
Jammes(1902) whispers: yes draw=glory
Funkmaus(2179) whispers: it looks easy draw to me - from blacks side
Diboss(2130) whispers: very technical though
xivarmy(1979) whispers: Rd8-Rd5 now to activate the rook?
Jammes(1902) whispers: wich way funk h pwn is lost
Diboss(2130) whispers: the h-pawn isn't really that important
Diboss(2130) whispers: black needs to make sure he can grab the b pawn in exchange for the h
Jammes(1902) whispers: no way imo
xivarmy(1979) whispers: idea being that once white takes the h-pawn with the R, black instead takes the 4th and gets the white b-pawn
Jammes(1902) whispers: 4th is covered by rook
xivarmy(1979) whispers: won't be after Rxh5 :) 57...Kd5 (2:41)
Jammes(1902) whispers: ttats why kxh5
xivarmy(1979) whispers: that's why Rd8-Rd5 then. Kxd5 no longer an option 58.Kg5 (0:33)
Diboss(2130) whispers: not good now
xivarmy(1979) whispers: that's why Rd8-Rd5 then. Kxh5 no longer an option*
xivarmy(1979) whispers: yea, now it's a lot harder for black i think
Diboss(2130) whispers: the king should have stayed, should have moved the rook as you said
Diboss(2130) whispers: the king can't go after the b-pawn, that should be obvious
xivarmy(1979) whispers: anyone know a site with 7 man tablebases for after the h-pawn falls. i'm really curious if there is a defence now
Jammes(1902) whispers: 6 is highest i think
Jammes(1902) whispers: shredderchess.com
xivarmy(1979) whispers: no, 7 exist, they're not practical to distribute because they take terabytes... i thought there might be an online source where you could input a position though 58...Re8 (4:21) 59.Kxh5 (0:06)
Jammes(1902) whispers: try shredderchess. nly site i know
xivarmy(1979) whispers: yea, that one's only 6 as are the ones i usually use. ah well
Jammes(1902) whispers: and let me know if 7 includd
Jammes(1902) whispers: ok
Funkmaus(2179) whispers: I thought there been a way to play rook down, to c1, and get Rc4 when white eaten h-pawn
Funkmaus(2179) whispers: I was wrong! 59...Re5+ (1:26) 60.Kg6 (0:04) Re1 (1:10) 61.Kf6 (0:27)
xivarmy(1979) whispers: Rc1-c4 might still work if white's king stays on that side of the board. 61...Rc1 (1:05)
xivarmy(1979) whispers: Kf5 only move? so that after Rc4 Rxc4 bxc4 Kf4 into the square of the pawn 62.Ke7 (3:57) Rc4 (0:54) 63.Rh5+ (0:07) Kc6 (0:04) 64.Rh6+ (0:01) Kc7 (0:04) 65.Ke6 (1:58) Rxb4 (0:25) 66.Kd5 (0:03) Rb1 (0:45) 67.Rh7+ (0:09) Kd8 (0:44)
xivarmy(1979) whispers: hm, the b-pawn is a shelter for the white king, nice
Jammes(1902) whispers: rookendings are the easiest and the most complicated in one
xivarmy(1979) whispers: Kc6 b4 Kb6 b3 c6 Rc1 c7+ Rxc7 Rxc7 b2... so close yet so far, is there an improvement for white in there? 68.c6 (5:24) b4 (0:39) 69.c7+ (0:52) Kc8 (0:08)
xivarmy(1979) whispers: ah yes, this makes the rook make the move early, c7+ Kc8 Kc6 Rc1+ Kb6 and the b-pawn isn't advanced enough to sac for the c-pawn 70.Kc6 (0:11)
Jammes(1902) whispers: kd might improve ur line
Jammes(1902) whispers: 6
Mekk(1832) whispers: what a pity I forgot to give upthis b pawn some mvoes ago ;-)
olechos(1773) whispers: brawo Mekk! 70...Rc1+ (0:55) 71.Kb6 (0:13)

Jammes(1902) whispers: white in danger to lose 74.Rd2 (0:21)
Jammes(1902) whispers: ok missed this
xivarmy(1979) whispers: maybe white still doesn't win... Rc2 is a nuisance 74...Rc4 (1:46)
Minhaz(1676) whispers: Rc2, Rxc2, bxc2, c8=Q
Minhaz(1676) whispers: White would win, right?
xivarmy(1979) whispers: ah yes, missed that :)
Minhaz(1676) whispers: :D
Mekk(1832) whispers: my last chance to win was c8=Q Rxc8 Rxc8 b2, does not seem there will be another opportunity to provoke blunder. So we lost another match :-(
Minhaz(1676) whispers: Looks like a draw 75.Rb2 (6:35)
xivarmy(1979) whispers: tablebase has win-in-34 for Kb7. so the question is how does white make progress after Rb4+ Kc8 there 75...Kd7 (2:03) 76.Rd2+ (0:34)
xivarmy(1979) whispers: Kd6 was listed as only forced draw there - not quite sure why, but it's a draw if the black king had made its way out to e5, but a loss with it on e7/e6... 76...Ke7 (0:10) 77.Rb2 (0:01) Kd7 (0:07) 78.Rd2+ (0:01) Ke7 (0:10)
Mekk(1832) whispers: drawing 50moves ago was easier
Mekk(1832) whispers: but this way more fun
Jammes(1902) whispers: unfortunatly its no draw
Minhaz(1676) whispers: how Jammes?
xivarmy(1979) whispers: might turn out that way still - Kb7 is still the only winning move
Minhaz(1676) whispers: who wins?
Jammes(1902) whispers: as xivs tb :)
Minhaz(1676) whispers: :) 79.Rb2 (2:30)
Jammes(1902) whispers: oknow it draw
Mekk(1832) whispers: pity he avoided this b-for 3 pawns sac, would be more fun...
