26... Qf4+ 27. Kh1 Bxh3
|
27. ...... Bxh3 - steals a pawn due to the pin on my rook on g1. True the rook on g1 is twice defended, but Glenda is too high a value for this task. The worst part of this pawn loss is that those h pawns of Freddy's suddenly become dangerous! |

28. Qf1 Bd7 29. Re2
|
29. Re2 - I move the rook to the e column. Somehow I think that c2 might have been better. At least the rook would have been in line with the BK and I could have gathered a bit of momentum with the pawn roll I started. |

29... Rg6g3 30. Qc1 Qf6
|
30. ...... Qf6 - Freddy refuses to trade queens otherwise there would be no mating attack. |

31. Qe3 h3 32. Qa7

32. Qa7 - Freddy has already announced mate. Well, if you are going to get checkmated and you get a chance to play a token move, then do choose the most aggressive move. At least this reminds Freddy that he has an opponent, even though a weak one. Glenda threatens mate in one! |

32... Kd8 33. Qb8+ Bc8
|
33. ...... Bc8 - oh, if only that lsb was a pawn. That would have been Qb8# and not Qb8+. What a difference 2 symbols make! |

35. c5 - this is as far as my pawn roll is gonna get. Now come the forced moves. Hope you can bear to look! |

34... Qh4 35. Rge1
|
35. Rge1 - will make no difference to the result. I decided to delay the mate, but somehow the most aggressive token move would have been d6. That would have allowed mate in 1. But now it gets really gruesome. |

35. ...... hxg2+ - # in 4. |

36. Kg1 - no choice here, double check. |

36... Qh1+

36. ..... Qh1+ - # in 3 - vicious! |

37... g1=Q+
|
37. ....... g1/Q+ - Freddy has the pleasure of getting two queens. |
|

38. Rxg1
|
38. Rxg1 - the crowned queen is taken but I now lose both Henry and my rook at the same time. Freddy now plays the deadening Qxg1#. Back again to the drawing board. |
