Yeah, looks like black kind of let this one go. Nice focus on your part though.
Thanks! I'd heard this player bemoan his weak endgame before so I decided to sit it out and see what happens...
I think you should've considered played on. After 6... a4 7 Rxg7+ Kh8 8 Rh7+ Kg8 9 Rbg7+ Kf8 10 h4 White threatens a mate in 3.
I did consider playing on as I also give white an edge in this position due to the better rooks, but I had no clear plan to victory and blacks conected pawns looked like they would be hard to stop. Your idea is a good one that I completely missed, but black would have time to move a rook to the 6th rank to defend.
h6 (threatening mate) Rxh6
Rxh6 Kxg7 I don't see a way to overcome this.
Also, it was late and my wife had arived to take me home.
I was wondering the otherday how many world champions have had a wife and child...
After 10... Rc4 11 h5 Rc6 I think that 12 Rg5 causes problems for Black. However, the position was undeniably a tricky one, and, as you say, it was late...:)
good
