39. Rc1 - moves out of the bishop attack and tries to blockade the passed c pawn. The queens have been exchanged as have the outside passed pawns, but now I am lumbered with 2 central ones and am extremely passive. |

45. Ke3 - a last ditch swindle trying to exchange my bishop for his 2 passers. If I can do that then I may have drawing chances, but Freddy kills this idea and the game stone dead with 46. ......... Re8 !!! This means that I will soon be a whole piece down in the ending and there is still one queenside passer of his left. I throw in the sponge after 47. ........ Rd8 .
Moral of this story. It is not always the base of the chain that is necessary weak, sometimes the head needs seeing to as well as my opponent may certainly see to it!!! |
