40. Kd2 Ne4+ 41. Kxd3 Nxc3
|
41. ....... Nxc3 - I expected Nxf2 which might have led to a draw but although this move makes me a pawn up in a K & P ending it wins! Now, here are 2 factors that influence things here. 1. Jim has a remote passer on the a column. 2. My kingside pawns are backward so there is no way of me forcing a passer on the kingside. 3. Jim's king can quite easily infiltrate the light squares and so the kingside pawns become sitting ducks. Henry tries to prevent this infiltration but to no avail. |

44... Ke4 45. Kc4 Kf3

45. ........ Kf3. Here I resign on the grounds of ruinous loss of material. I will now give you some analysis and you will see why:- Variation A 46. Kd5 a4 47. Kc4 Kxf2 48. Kb4 Kg2 49. Kxa4 Kxh2 50. Kb4 Kxg3 51. Kc4 Kf2 52. Kd5 g3 53. Kc6 g2 54. Kxb6 g1=Q Variation B 46. Kd5 a4 47. Kc6 a3 48. Kxb6 a2 49. Kc7 a1=Q 50. b6 Qe5+.
All in all an instructive game I feel. Do you the jury agree? |
