22. Bxb5
|
I take and pin his knight
|
 
|
| |
|
|
22... Be6
|
he attacks my rook and links the pawn/bishop pair |
|
| |
|
|
23. Rd3
|
i go ahead and keep pressure on his knight ~ even if he goes B c5 attacking both rooks I end up with the knight and bishop for a rook
At this point though, my hope of "significantly Battering" Rob appears to be quickly faiding, now I am hoping to get a marginal win or at least a draw. |

|
23... Rg8
|
He moves his rook threatening r8xg2 wihcih would be an immediate death |
|
| |
|
|
24. g3
|
I had this as a conditional move |
|
| |
|
|
24... Ra5
|
he (not so surprisingly) attacks my bishop I don't have a conditional move for this. I have to think a while about whether I take the knight or protect with my f-rook |
|
| |
|
|
25. Rb1
|
Best I can figure is if I play this, i end up after about 5 moves with a rook and a bishop against a knight and a bishop. something like ( ... rxB, 26.RxR, Bc4. 27. Rc3, Bxb5 28. Rc8 , Ke7 29. RxR, ....) I think.... then after that i don't know what... Usually I would have just taken the knight, since it gets more material off the board and I can think with fewer variables. |
|
| |
|
|
25... Rxb5
|
as planned with conditional moves in there |
|
| |
|
|
26. Rxb5
|
conditional move set |
|
| |
|
|
26... Bc4
|
assumed |
|
| |
|
|
27. Rc3
|
conditional move |
|
| |
|
|
27... Rxg3+
|
this is different... but the outcome is nearly the same I guess |
|
| |
|
|
28. hxg3
|
so here we are, I put in conditional move after 28.... Bxb5. 29. Bxh6. I don't know what he may do after that. I am up a rook to a knight but his pawns are paired in the middle of the board. so my advantage is minimal (if any) I get 7.6 points for a draw against him but I sure would like ten more points and the pride of getting a win !!!! |
|
| |
|
|
28... Bxb5
|
So he evens this up. |
|
| |
|
|
29. Bxh6
|
I get a pawn, |
|
| |
|
|
29... Ke7
|
he pushes king towards the middle |
|
| |
|
|
30. Kg2
|
i do similarly. at this point I am running out of pieces (and Ideas) with which I can squash him. my odds of getting a win are looking bleak. but Hey, I did make a close game after 30 moves (so far). |
|
| |
|
|
30... Ke6
|
he pushes his king to the middle some more I understand that, |
|
| |
|
|
31. g4
|
i go ahead and keep pushing a pawn (and hoping I figure out something or he makes a mistake ~ either case seems doubtful) |
|
| |
|
|
31... f6
|
an obvious move.. |
