can you find the winning move in this game?
  • Ray Garrison at 2007-12-06

    I won the fourth breakthrough championship losing only one game, to Nosferatu. I was eagerly looking forward to my next encounter with N. It came, appropriately, in the fifth (current) championship. Imagine my dismay, as after awhile, I came to realize that I was dead lost (again!) For example, I calculated I was lost in all variations after N's 55.g3 So I surmised that the trickiest move that I had was my 56.e5 My analysis paid off, N did not find the winning move, and therefore he turned the win over to yours truly. The question is this, can you find white's winning move 57???
