42... a4
|
I now play a4 because he could no longer play Kxa4, at the current moment because of my other pawn on b5. |

43. Kd2
|
Now, he is trying to trick me, I am not going to be fooled by that. |

|
43... b4
|
I decide to play b4 because it brings me one step closer to getting the promotion. |

44. Kc2
|
I do not know why played Kc2 instead of Kd3. Kd3 might have allowed him to capture a free pawn with Kxb4, in the long run. Now, he is going to be checked with b3+, and there is nothing he can do about that because the possibility of capturing my pawn Kxb3 is now gone since the other pawn is on a4. The only thing he can do, at this point, is run away from danger, with Kb2 or Kc3. |

44... b3+ 45. Kb2 e4
|
At this point, I do not check him again with a3+ because this would allow him to capture a free pawn with Kxb3, followed by another free pawn with Kxa3 or Kxa2. Instead, I decide to play e4, and I know that he cannot capture my pawn on the e square because of my rook on e7. That way, he is unable to capture my pawn on b4, as well as, e4. |

In this position, he threatens to play Kxa3 and capture a free pawn, but I figured that I would let him. If he played Kxa4 I would respond with b2, and he would not be able to stop the promotion. |

46... Rb7
|
I could have played Rb7 instead of Ra7. That would prevent him from playing Rxa3, but I played Rb7, instead. That way, I will be able to get the pawn promotion because he would not be able to play Kxb3, even if I had played e3 right away, and he is almost pin because his only options are Kxa4 or Kb2. |

He chose Kb2 in order to block my pawn on b3 and prevent me from checking him with a3+. |

47... e3
|
I respond with e3 in order to trick him and put pressure on his king. |
|
| |
|
|
48. Kc1
|
He responds with Kc1 in his attempt to stop my pawn promotion, but it does not work. |

48... e2
|
I thought he would capture my pawn with Kxb2, if I had checked him with b2+, but I forgot that he would not have been able to do this because of my rook on b7. Since that happened, I played e2 instead of b2, but it does not matter, anyway. That is because he would not have been checkmated right away since he would have been able to play Kc2, and I now have a pass pawn. In this position, I will get a pawn promotion, and there is nothing he could do about that. |

He plays Kd2 hoping that I will not get the promotion. |
|

49... Re7

I respond with Re7, to protect my pawn on e2. |

He now plays Ke1 in his last minute attempt to stop the promotion, but that does not work. |
|

50... b2
|
I respond with b2, so there is nothing he could do to stop the promotion, in this position, because it is now inevitable. |
|
| |
|
|
51. Kd2
|
His only choices are now Kf2 or Kd2 because he cannot move his king anywhere else. |
|

|
|
51... b1=Q
|
I just got a pawn promotion here. |
|
| |
|
|
52. Kc3
|
In this position, his only choice was Kc3 because he could not move anywhere else since my rook is on e7, and my promoted queen is on b1. |
|
| |
|
|
52... e1=Q+
|
At this point, I got another pawn promotion with, and I directly checked him with it. |
|
| |
|
|
53. Kc4 a3
|
At this point, I was thinking about promoting, yet another pawn which is why I played a3, but I quickly realized that I could mate him without a third promotion. In addition, a third pawn might directly lead to a stalemate because the king might only be safe in the same spot but nowhere else. Therefore, I do not bother with a2 followed by a1=Q. |
