this is all good, if I can stop his K from coming off the h file and letting the pawn through... |

The guy offers me a draw somewhere round here and I am sorry to say I turned him down. Wouldn't you (besides, I only ever offer draws in positions I consider lost, and must assume others do the same thing)... |

Well, turns out Andy's a rock musician, goin' through college and generally an all-round nice guy so, after this symbolic final check the players agree a draw and adjourn down the pub. Thanks, Andy for a good game, and hope the annotations are not offensive; they're all meant in good spirit... |
