32. Kg3
|
I go ahead and support the pawn, hoping at some point i have a little more flexibiity in where I can move what. By keeping my king on a black square, he can't put me in check with his bishop at least. maybe i can sneak around and get a pawn to the 8th rank, this is going to be a long drawn out process |

|
|
32... Kf7
|
he just moves his king, Kind of like he wants to attack my bishop . |
|
| |
|
|
33. Be3
|
I don't see any real advantageous move so i just move the guy out of the way to save for a rainy day |
|
| |
|
|
33... Ke6
|
he looks like he is just wanting the middle of the board. this game is looking more and more draw-ish |
|
| |
|
|
34. Rc8
|
I don't see any really good moves, so I stall , this is just my 'less bad' move and I am getting kind of ancy about this game altogether. |
|
| |
|
|
34... Bd3
|
At this pint I am seeing very little chance of getting anything on him , frustration, (and boredom at work) is beginning to set in |
|
| |
|
|
35. Rc6+
|
strictly a delay tactic, maybe he will do something wrong. |
|
| |
|
|
35... Kf7
|
i kiind of thought he might try to bait me by going to e7 (then Bc5 , Nxb5,Rxb5.... ) that would have given him my bishop for the knight...but ok. |
|
| |
|
|
36. Kf3
|
I thought briefly about Rd6 but then if he gets the pawn at e4 sacrficing the knight, i have little opportunity to keep him from getting a pawn promoted. or if i do, I have to give up a piece and it is still a draw game (dammit) |
|
| |
|
|
36... Bb5
|
gee he wants me to move my rook. I have no idea where to put it so i decided just to pin the knight |
|
| |
|
|
37. Rc7
|
so I pin the knight, I don't really have a plan, and that concerns me |
|
| |
|
|
37... Kg6
|
I sure wish i could get somewhere with this and wonder about Rb7 and Rc8 |
|
| |
|
|
38. Rc8
|
I decide on this because I am hoping i can somehow pry that stupid knight off of the support for the pawn at f6 ~ it seems to be impeding my progress (progress???!!!!) |
|
| |
|
|
38... Kg7
|
so it appears he is more than willing to take the draw. but I want a win ! I am scratching my head going "I am up against his knight and paired pawns against my rook and split pawns There has to some what I can do something !!!!. I see me pinning the knight again leading to a repetative move deal. I look for something else, the problem seems to be he has additional strenght in that his bishop has more relative strength against my split pawns than mine has against his paired. i push |
|

|
|
39. g5
|
I am swapping pawns to break up the pair hoping it will give me SOMETHING ! |
|
| |
|
|
39... fxg5
|
he sees that he HAS to swap, but states in comments: "Just one more teensy wincy pawn and the draw is mine, i can't believe i'm actually having to play for a draw..." almost like I am supposed to get some sort of satisfaction out of getting draw from him. DAMMIT I WANT A WIN! |
|
| |
|
|
40. Bxg5
|
OK so now I have broken his pawns up (at a cost ~ I think a worthy cost) and start work on getting his pawn out of my way (or at least working a rook to knight end game that maybe I can win) |
|
| |
|
|
40... Kf7
|
I don't see much.. still, If i go Kg4 then he can put me in check, with the knight. fat lotta good Kg4 does me ..... |
|
| |
|
|
41. Rc7
|
I go back to pinning the knight I want to get my king around or my bishop behind that stupid pawn. Really it is a stall so I can think... he doesn't have to know that though |
|
| |
|
|
41... Ke6
|
he gets out of that and supports his pawn |
