White's bishop is black-squared, so white square is better for black king,
especially as f7 is nearer black pawns than f8.

Matthias.

correction: 46 ... Kf8

f7 should remain empty so that Rook can pass to b7 and grab a pawn.

Matthias.
ok
so its 2 for Kf8
and 1 for Kf7

Kf7



King should go quickly to the center (e6). Rook can go to f7 one mover later if needed.

Well we seem to still have a tied vote with only about 7 hours to go until the TC is reached

hopefully i will not have to invoke the provisions of Paragraph 3(b1) of the match rules and declare the game won by the dreaded ..

I vote for 46....Kf8 because it is more flexible.

OK, I don't think there was a lot of difference in the 2 moves. I tried some top engines and it was pretty much a 50/50 split on which to go for. Shredder 11 was alone in recommending the curved ball Kh7...
