So i move over here. Still, this is a pretty dangerous area for my king as now i don't have anywhere to go. |

|
| |
|
|
37. Rc1c6
|
Pins my g pawn to my king. I'm still in quite rough shape. |

|
| |
|
|
37... Rb8
|
Protecting myself from the very imposing pawn. |

|
| |
|
|
38. g4
|
My king has no where to run to. I have to take otherwise g5 Kh5 Rh7#. |

|
| |
|
|
38... fxg4 39. hxg4 Rxe3
|
Now i reduced the material advantage to one pawn and it actually seems like i have a tiny shred of counter play going on. |

|

|
|
40. f5
|
Piling up on the pinned pawn. |

|
| |
|
|
40... Kg5
|
Now i have an open file for my rook on the back rank. There is some light, although not much. |

|
| |
|
|
41. Rxg6+
|
I'm desperately trying to get some counter play, so that pawn is the least of my worries. |

|
| |
|
|
41... Kf4
|
Now it actually seems like i have some legitimate counter play going on. |

|
| |
|
|
42. Rgg7
|
? so after this move my opponent actually offered me a draw. Only a few moves ago i would of been eager to accept a draw, although now it seems as though i have a legitimate shot at this game. |

So seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, i decide to play on. I have held on long enough and now i feel like i am back and better now than i have been all game. |

|

43. Rcb7
|
trying to trade off rooks, however i am not remotely interested in that. |

|
| |
|
|
43... Rh6+
|
And just like that, my rooks are extremely active and his king has no protection from his pieces. |

|
| |
|
|
44. Kg2
|
Things are looking great for me now. |

|
| |
|
|
44... Rg3+ 45. Kf1
|
His fate is pretty much sealed now. |

|
| |
|
|
45... Rh1+
|
Here comes the hammer. |

|
| |
|
|
46. Kf2 Rh2+ 47. Kf1
|
So his king is stuck on the back rank and he has some serious problems. |

|
| |
|
|
47... Kf3
|
The winning move. |

|
| |
|
|
48. Rb3+
|
A desperate attempt to prevent the mate. |

|
| |
|
|
48... e3
|
However it is easily parried. And with this my opponent resigned, leaving my a kind message as well. So although i was down for pretty much the entire game, i held on and with a little luck managed to pull out a win. Thanks to drpat23 for playing a great game with me. |
