Hello Bernhard, everyone,

| ...
| At least I can confirm that I received your mail 3 times now
| and that everybody else most likely received it as well.
| You can stop now sending it... :)

Sorry everyone! It won't happen again.

| ...
| You are writing about an earlier comment by Hosking concerning
| 34.Sx7e B'6g... could you tell it to us who like me do not possess
| this book? Is there any clue which could be transferred to this
| position?

Here is the game score again:
1.P2f P8d 2.P2e P8e 3.G7h G3b 4.P2d Px2d 5.Rx2d P'2c
6.R2f S7b 7.P1f P1d 8.S3h P6d 9.P7f P8f 10.Px8f Rx8f 11.P'8g R8b 12.P4f S6c
13.S4g S5d 14.S5f P3d 15.K6h B3c 16.Bx3c+ Nx3c 17.S8h S2b 18.G5h P2d
19.P3f S2c 20.S7g K4b 21.N3g P6e 22.G4g G5b 23.P9f P9d 24.K5h R6b 25.P7e P4d
26.R2i K3a 27.K4h K2b 28.S7f P6f 29.Px6f Rx6f 30.S76g R6b 31.N7g P'6f
32.S7f P7d

At this point Hosking gives the line 33.Px7d 34.P'7e Sx7e 35.B'6g which is
much stronger here with the rook bearing down.

33.P'6d Px7e 34.S76e and Hosking says "again not 34.Sx7e B'6g."
