26. hxg6 fxg6 27. Rxe8
27. Rxe8!! - We cannot have a Freddy game without a brilliant exchange sac! In order to win a game one must be prepared to sac material for better gains.

 
27... Qxe8
27. ...... Qxe8 - Freddy suggested that 27...Rfxe8 was more logical here.

 
28. Rxg6+ Kf7 29. Qf5+
29. Qf5+ - Freddy now asks me to get my exercise book out, it's time to make a puzzle - for he announces #4. In fact it turned out to be #6.

 
29... Ke7 30. Qe4+
30. Qe4+ - #5.

 
30... Kf7
30......Kf7 - Freddy suggested that Kd8 would have prolonged the game.

 
31. Qd5+
31. Qd5+ - #4.

31... Ke7 32. Re6+
32. Re6+ - Freddy is not interested in Glenda although that in itself is a very nasty skewer, Henry is doomed because it is #3.

 
32... Kf7 33. Qf5+
33. Qf5+ - #2

 
33... Kg8 34. Qh7#
34. Qh7 MATE!! - Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, the checkmate that I had been trying to avoid for many moves has taken place. Not a very nice picture. Now what have we learned from this ..... well ..... maybe eating poisoned pawns causes terrible squitters or worse ..... so think before you grab, I thought it was OK but I should have perhaps analysed more carefully. Maybe you the jury have some more ideas to put in the mix here. Anyhow - to all of you - HAPPY NEW YEAR!! - Joanne
