Juan vs. Ed

In the game above, played from round 1 of the finals between Juan Grande and myself, I had miscued and Juan fought back with a brilliant strategy.

I overexposed the King and Juan's Archbishop + minor were better than my cramped Queen and Rook.

At this point in the game, with White to move, I found a long sequence that forced a draw. When Juan played 38. h7+ next, I was able to announce a win.

The first person to show the entire line of the correct play for white to move and draw will win a FREE Gothic Chess stainless steel mug.

I am not very clear about this. White to move and draw, starting from which move in the game? I suppose that this would be the alternative move to juangrande's 36. h7+. Is that right?

65, go to my original post, and you will see a link at the very top, Juan vs. Ed, and this will take you directly to the move.

Hello Ed, congratulations for your win against juan! I observed this game and thought (without analysis)after juans ´s brave 35.move that he has the possibility of a win because his very mobile AB and your offside standing rook.
Instead 38.h7+? I saw 38.Ng5!? Nd5 39.h7+ with four variants :
a)39...Kj8? 40.Ah6+ Bi7 41.Ni6++
b)39...Kj7? 40.Ah5+ Kj8 41.Ni6+ Kj7 42.Nxh8+ +-
c)39...Qxh7?! 41.Nxh7 Kxh7 41.Ai5+ unclear,perhaps += because of the very mobile AB
d)39...Ki7! 40.Ah5+ Kh6 (40...Kj8? Ni6+ etc +-)41.Aj7+ Ki7 (41..Kg6 41 Ag5+ Kh5
(41..Kf6?42.Bxd4+ 42.Ke7 Ag6+ 43.Kd6 +-)42.Aj7+ =)42.Ag5+ Kh6 =
What do you think about these variants?
Wow, it is now my job to win the first game against you? :)

CaissasDream is on the right track, but there is no win for white as black can dispose of the Queen since the white Rook is already sac-exchanged.

I give 38. Ng5!! as it is the only way to draw. Black basically has only four moves to consider at this point: 38...Qe8, 38...Ng6, 38...Nc6, or 38...Nd5, so tell me which one you think leads to the draw.

Hi GCP ... tried the link to the game and it throws me out to the login screen. i then tried the game id from querying the tag and came up with a game not found, probably deleted ... so can you post the actual game number please (I thought it used to be here but that post seems to have been deleted?) Cheers W.
