Hi everyone!
Just to let you know that I met my usual fate against Freddy, you can now guess what that is! Anyhow, it was not before he found himself in Old Matey's shadow so it was a case of us being at each other's throats but he got in first! We pick up the action on move 6 when after responding to the main line 5. ....... Ke7 he plays Bb3. |

16. ..... Qh4 - whoho, whoho, Glenda has the temerity to leap on her broomstick and put Freddy's king under her glare! |

17. ...... Rae8 - this was intentioned to hide Henry away on the queenside and for my cannons to attack Freddy on the kingside. |

18. a4 a6
|
18. ...... a6? - In retrospect I think a5 would have been so much better. |

20. Qb3+ - ouch, a queen fork. Not only does the b7 pawn fall but the Witch crosses my idea of tucking Henry away on the queenside. |

|
22. ........ g5 - I now proceed with a kingside mating attack. How dare I contemplate doing this to the Master Mater! |

23. .... Be5 - if PXB?? then Freddy wins Fou Lenoir but loses his rook and his king! |

24. ..... Rc8 - defends Henry but this will fail later on. |

26. ..... Rxf4 - keeps my mating atack going, this time a back row mate threat. |
