Well, I have no experience, played it just once, but I wouldn't think so. :)
If everything will go as planned, than I will be playing such endgame in a vote chess game Facebook vs. Twitter. We will have the knight. :)

I've had K+R Vs K+N once, about ten years ago. Classical time controls (40 moves in 2 hours each, followed by repeating 20 moves in 1 hour each) against a stronger opponent. I had always believed, that the side with the Rook had a hard time prosecuting the win, and that the defence is rather easier. Anyway, I couldn't be bothered, as I didn't (and still don't) know any relevant techniques, and a draw was agreed immediately.
LOL, I don't know why Bela is even trying to win if she blunders everytime she gets an advantage... :)
[107.] Only Na4 draws.
108.Nc5?
Noooo, it would be mate on 49th move I believe!!! :)

last capture was in 74, and mate would have been given in move 118 I think she had to hold more...

Ask to my avatar's man :)
In Ukraina and south of Russia the letter 'g' is often pronounced similarly as the 'h' - loud in English.
Gorbachov used to say ( he is from Stavropol ):
'U nas mnoho, mnoho umnyh l'ud'ei' (= 'we have many many smart people'), and the 'people' were laughing about him...
In Russian, the 'mnoho' (='many') it is actually written as 'mnogo'.
This may explain why she is written as 'Lahno', or differently 'Lagno'.

If I may, she is one of the most beautiful women chessplayers I have ever seen.

I think she has earned GM title.
By the way, surprising winner.

leaders drew
