I don't get it -- white still wins -- what are you showing me?

actually, just responding to the line posted; not specifically showing YOU anything, but 33.n1734.n2035.p1836.q2337.s2138.t2039.t1940.s22 ends with a move for black, and I thought (incorrectly) that you were demonstrating a win for black, but accidentally referred to white; therefore, I offered an improvement on move 39 to demonstrate a complete win for black (39. u20 instead of 39. t19). I guess at issue then is whether, after 33. n17 , there exists a way for black to win, but admittedly this does not look good. I restate what I said months ago, in my opinion and analysis, these games are games between humans, who do not always play 'perfect' moves. The fact that white missed an improvement does not change the result, and I don't really see a point in beating the issue to death. Black won. Next game. I would not wish to spoil the 'fun' however, of post game analysis, if that's what you all enjoy; maybe there is something to learn, but the next game will be a different game, with BRAND NEW MISTAKES to be made. A famous Chess player remarked that the winner of the game is the player who makes the 2nd-to-last mistake. That's how I see it. mc.
|33.p14 was a complete blunder and of course a mistake. I mean, I had the game at that position:-)
I want to explore whether that's an accurate assessment. I thought the game was still competitive at that point.

If that works, I still didn't prove that |33.n17 works, but that is still my hypothesis.
