This is a pretty nice tight game where the Black king is tucked away safe from harm (on move 33) -- or is he??

Control of the 7th rank is devastating.

Raeth

I know! Ever since I read a comment from somebody, "Put your rook or queen on the 7th rank and see what happens", its worked every time and just rings in my head.
