    What follows was a very interesting match I finished earlier today.  My opponent played very well and I played decently as well, although computer analysis pointed out some inaccuracies and mistakes along the way (thankfully no blunders on my part).  I was very close to resigning toward the end but played it out just a few moves longer and the end was quite surprising, given the odds.  This just goes to show you that it is sometimes worth not giving up.  Hope you guys enjoy:

    Why would it be a win for black? How about 55. Rg5+ Kh6 56. Rxc5, and the h-pawn is easily stopped. The king is in the way of blacks rook, giving the white rook time to reach h1...

    But, of course, I wouldn't have proved a national master wrong.

    So please refute my analysis.
