Exciting endgame (at least for me) vs. Makholm (who I think is Sian?). Ended up with a draw but I couldn't shake the feeling if I were better I could have pulled off the win

i actually started putting that game in the computer before it ended. Here's the analysis (deep fritz 13, 180s full analysis on 7 cpu threads):
http://www.viewchess.com/cbreader/2013/1...62277.html pgn: White (rego) has a nasty queen trap available right in the opening, but involved allowing his rook to get forked but essentially wasting a move (Bd2 and then Be3). Its actually quite interesting - the computer values white's position greatly with black's king stuck in the center - once the pressure is relieved when rego does 17 Bxe7, then it immediately declares the position even. Fritz says both sides made just one mistake each in the endgame. great game guys.

Ended up with a draw but I couldn't shake the feeling if I were better I could have pulled off the win interesting game, I think the following mistakes happened at the end 1) White blundered by playing to exchange the rook and bishop when his pieces were much better placed and pawn on h7 could be eaten for free. 2) after the nice ... b5 move, Black should then have immediately rushed his king to attack the c4 pawn, which would then force White to defend and give Black chances to win if White screws up, although I think it's still a draw technically. If white tries to counter by running his king to f5, black just plays h6 once it gets there and wins (because white moving the king too far loses to black's e4.) 3) 47 ... h5 is a blunder that should lose, and black should instead just play Kg7 which is a draw. The point here is that black can defend the f6 square indefinitely by using the opposition. He can't do that for f5. White then returns the favour by accepting the draw.

oh! i only had put in the game when it reached 39.c5, then shortly thereafter saw the draw and didnt realize you guys blitzed out a bunch more moves!
its dead drawn well into the endgame - even 45....Kd6!? allowing white to march over and eat the h pawn is still drawn??? (fake edit: My conclusions about why it was drawn were completely off.... take a look at this position: ![[Image: rego-sian-endgame.jpg]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/19053792/chess/rego-sian-endgame.jpg) Black to move and draw. (ignore that red arrow ) ) even in the end position, Fritz says white must play precisely. Yes 47....h5 loses big time. but white must play Ke4 or Ke6 to win. K to the d file allows black to draw. any pawn move allows black to win.

@ uber - definitely yes to #1 and #3.
#2 is so interesting! What that plan does is it makes white play precisely to hold the draw. For example.... if instead of 33...bxc4, the sides rush kings to the area to get this position (33....Kc7 34. Kd3 Kb6 35.Kc3: ![[Image: rego-sian-endgame-2.jpg]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/19053792/chess/rego-sian-endgame-2.jpg) what if black does bxc4 now? According to Fritz, there is only 1 drawing move for white. also to note is that black can do an e5-e4 break and make a queen if white's king strays too far.
