Trade pawns at this point? Why? |

White is happy to accelerate. |

The jaunt continues. Aren't the trees pretty? |

Oh, let's just give white a pawn and a check. |

This shows off a good endgame note. Side-by-side pawns are a great king blocker. They take up huge space as far as the slow king is concerned. Even though white didn't force the issue, I walked right into a wall. |

I really didn't have a deathwish here, but that's exactly what I did. At this point, I certainly hadn't studied much about the endgame. The one brightside, at least I made such goofball mistakes against a relatively highly rated player. |
