Breakfast: When It Matters

Good morning, chess players!

Check out the following position from a 15|10 game I played yesterday. I had Black:

In the above position, clearly 51. Re3 was best. White will get the pawn no matter what. The computer, in fact, calls mate in twenty here!

However, White blundered with 51. Re8??, which instantly draws! Because I go 51... Ka5!, and next move, I defend the pawn! And in the meantime, my rook-pawn cannot be stopped with the assistance of my King. Don't believe me? I challenge you to set this up on a board and find a winning variation for White!

What a swindle, and I hope you enjoyed my brief post! I'll likely see you Friday!
