WIN AS WHITE

It is white to move. White`s next move is decisive in bringing about a winning position.  

At  first glance it may seem that black should be able to sacrifice the rook for the white pawn while pushing his own pawn, thereby gaining a draw.

In the game I missed the best continuation and ended up with a draw.

I was not in time trouble, it was just a really bad mistake by me.

Can you see white`s best continuation? I will post the key move in the comments section.

I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO SEE A COMPUTER MATCH

Computer matches against top Chess players seem to be a thing of the past, since the advent of the really, really, really strong super computers.

However I would like to see Magnus Carlsen play a match against a commercial programme, with the programme`s rating strength set to the same as Carlsen`s ELO.

His current ELO is 2822, how would he fare in a 6 game match with Fritz using the programme`s rated play mode also set at 2822?

Such a match must have the possibility of being a good earner for Magnus or any other top player?

This is just one of the computer matches I remember following online.

BEST WIN FOR A WHILE

Got this position in a recent Rated mode game. It turned out to be my best win in quite a while. It is white to play, I played Nh5 and the game ended when Fritz resigned 5 moves later.

What pleased me most was the fact I was able to accurately visualise all the ramifications after Nh5, in many of my games I fail to visualise accurately.

Ecc 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
