30. Qf2 - Glenda maintains her defense of Fou Lenoir on d4, now when is that poor gal not defending something? However, Glenda is also eyeing up the h file and the possibility of landing on h4 which could be nasty if the h5 pawn takes on g6. |

32. Qe3 - I don't like the fact that the h column is open and there is a black rook on it. I think a queen trade is needed here. |

34. Qe2 - Glenda cannot resist snuggling up to her other half, now a queen trade does take place. |

37. Re3 - my rook occupies the e file and will use it as a highway to Elia's position. |

52. Kd3 - peace for Henry but now the black queenside pawns are threatening to run away from my rook. |

55. Rxb5 - I am worried about those kingside passers but first I create my own passer. Unfortunately he is at least six moves away from Glendadom as I must first move my rook out of his way. |

56. Ke4 - something must stop those pawns. My b passer, Fou Lenoir and my rook are all defending each other in a huddle on the queenside, but as you will see, Henry does a grand job! |

56... g5 57. Kf5
|
57. Kf5 - this move ensures that both pawns will disappear from the board so the worst case scenario is a Low Draw for me. However, Elia, in his eagerness to defend his g pawn moves his rook to g1. Fou Lenoir gladly administers the last rights and Elia waves the white flag. Yet another huge sigh of relief for jstevens1! |
