36. Rf2 - what a load of ballyooo with the rooks. It looks as if we might draw by repetition. Kevin breaks the sequence but he will live to regret it! |

47. gxf5 - I come out of that little stouche with material even and both sides have a passed pawn on the kingside. Alas for Kevin, Henry is closer to the g5 pawn than the BK. |

48. ..... Kf6 - forced if he wants to avoid letting that f pawn march on to Glendadom. |

49. a5 b5

49. .... b5?? - this is the move which is gonna cost black the game. I now play a6 and put Kevin in a zugzwang. Kevin must now move his king away from the protection of the g5 pawn and Henry wastes no time in devouring his favourite seafood two moves down the line. |

57. f7 - my pawn is only one square away from Glendadom and Kevin's only move is Ke7. Henry will move to g7 next move and this will enable Glenda to appear in a puff of smoke. First on her to-do list will be to keep the BK confined to the kingside and then Henry will be close by to aid her when it comes to driving the BK to the edge of the board to administer that kiss of death. I hope you have had a good read - kind regards - Joanne |
