To play the games, just click on the moves in the score in the right hand side. Moves in black are the ones actually played in the game, and moves in color are variations and analysis. You can also click on these moves to see the position on the board. Or you can use the control panel under the board to step through each move manually, or the game can be played automatically. In autoplay mode, you have the option of stepping into the analysis variations or bypassing them completely. Select games by scrolling in the right hand panel, or use the drop down list under the board. The interface is quite natural and easy to get used to. We hope you find it useful and enjoyable.

Play continued, however, and the game was eventually drawn. Apparently reacting as quickly as possible to the attack on the rook in the corner, Black missed both the crushing 35... Rd2! offering to sacrifice the rook to threaten a mating attack via h2, and the simpler check that wins the knight by 35... Qb6+. Unfortunately, time pressure often has such influence on the game. 1/2-1/2
