Kramnik Misses Mate in One

How could a grandmaster overlook Qh7 mate?

Compare these two final positions:

(Deep Fritz - GM Kramnik, 2006)

(GM Gurevich - GM Serper, 2000)

FICS Still Up and Running, Despite Web Server Outage

While the freechess.org website has been down for over a month, the chess server itself is still up and running.

I've been able to satisfy my blitz urges and also participate in entertaining online conversations, for example in channels 39 and 50.

Yesterday there was a scheduled downtime for hardware upgrade ...
and now it's back online, Hooray!

There's still no web page, but point your chess interface to freechess.org port 5000 for the best online chess.
