It's a huge threat - and Black is struggling to find something to do.

And it's over. Looks like mate on h8 (or loss of that knight) was imminent.James Coleman wrote:I guess 54 Kf6 now just wins, it could have actually occured though yes!

Now Mickey is clearly winning - what will happen tomorrow. Short-Adams or Adams-Short. More importantly, will they play?
Re: BRITISH CHESS CHAMPIONSHIPS - THE GAMES
Can Hebden actually win this endgame if Summerscale puts his King on a8? Ie can he force a b6 Kxb6 pawn to a7 and Nc7 mate? I guess Summerscale just leaves the pawn on b6 though because b7 allows stalemate tricks.

Shows the difference between GMs and club players in endgames.

Re: BRITISH CHESS CHAMPIONSHIPS - THE GAMES
Is Aaron threatening ...Bxb5, even? (lack of knowledge of basic endings coming in here)
Has Nick P made a mess of this? I have the impression he expected resignation after Rf7 and missed ...Rc5, and that Rf7 probably wasn't the right move.

Short-Adams more likely we think. http://www.ecforum.org.uk/viewtopic.php ... 0&start=52John Moore wrote:Now Mickey is clearly winning - what will happen tomorrow. Short-Adams or Adams-Short. More importantly, will they play?

But it's a total draw.
Re: BRITISH CHESS CHAMPIONSHIPS - THE GAMES
Yeah obvious draw if the pieces come off, sorry.
