caknight 09-Feb-11, 19:48	Suggested Moves pennsylvaniadan43. Reg3. Reg3--We are running out of air caknight 43.Bc1 After 43.Reg3 e3! 44.Be1 e2. After 43.Bc1 (keeping the bishop on blacks queen) Bd4 44.Re1 e3 45.Bd3. sonata296 Start this thread.
brigadecommander 09-Feb-11, 20:38	43.Bc1 in the last days of Stalingrad 1943, a German General said '' the tomb is closing over our head''. So 43.Bc1.
caknight 09-Feb-11, 23:18	Our Position In the imortal words of Sun Tzu "we are in deep Kimchi". I know Sun Tzu was Chinese & Kimchi is Korean but deep cabbage just doesn't sound right.
dmaestro 11-Feb-11, 23:55	White has been in trouble for many moves. How about Qh2? Purely defensive but prevents being overrun.

brigadecommander 15-Feb-11, 11:42	44.Re1 -+ or 44.Qh2 -+ or......... There comes a time in every game that we are under the gun and in a hopeless situation that we have to consider Resigning. To go on resisting may seem brave and to fight to the last bullet seem romantic. But sometimes resigning means the same thing. We hand over our sword to the Victor thereby doing him Honor.We are allowed to keep our sidearms and to depart in peace.If you Gentleman wish to go on with this fight thats fine. But we are the Knights of Honor and my Honor is not sullied or Tarnished by resigning..BC
dmaestro 15-Feb-11, 12:04	I thought 43 Qh2 was essential but there was no comment. I see no point in playing on.
caknight 15-Feb-11, 16:12	Resign I too think it is time to admit that we have faced a worthy opponent & topple our king. As for 43.Qh2 Qxh2+ 44.Rxh2 Nf3 we drop another pawn after 45.Rxe4 Nxh2 46.Kxh2 Rxe4 47.Bxe4 Rxg4 If 45.Rg2 Nxd2 46.Rxd2 Bg5! skewing our rooks.
paolo2504 16-Feb-11, 04:54	Honor Knights of Honor fought with honor: let's resign.
caknight 16-Feb-11, 11:39	Resign I told cadavre of our decision to resign, he is his reply: cadavre-opa-: That's a shame, I was looking forward to seeing how the ending played out. Well, it was a good game and I learnt a lot - I hope the team did as well!
caknight 17-Feb-11, 02:17	Resign Results: (brigadecommander, dmaestro, caknight, paolo2504) I would like to thank everyone for their contributions to this game & this forum. Charlie
cadavre-opa- 17-Feb-11, 12:00	That was an enjoyable match! I've just done the Gameknot computer analysis, which shows that I made two mistakes whereas the team made none! I was really happy to have competed in another obscure opening, one which I have little first hand knowledge of. I do play the Reversed Grob OTB and in blitz games which is what I based my game on. Thanks a lot everyone!
