53. a6 - Ka7 might have been more of a nuisance to me but then Glenda could move in a zig zag fashion, always checking and always moving closer to the WK, as it is she is now permitted to climb on her broomstick and program that satnav of hers to take her to a8 preventing those little footmen from crowning. |

54. a4 - Ger courageously plays on but Henry now moves in for the kill to f5. |

57. ...... Qxa6 - before playing this move I analysed a few mates within 6 moves. Unfortunately there are some variations on them but never fear, Glenda will nail the WK. Here are the mates I did work out:- Variation A
58. Kb4 Kd4
59. Ka4 Kc4
60. Ka3 Qb5
61. Ka2 Kc3
62. Ka3 Qxa5#
Variation B
58. Kb4 Kd4
59. Ka3 Qxa5+
60. Kb3 Qc3+
61. Ka4 Qb2
62. Ka5 Kc5
63. Ka6 Qb6#
Variation C
58. Ka3 Qxa5+
59. Kb3 Kd4
60. Kc2 Qc3+
61. Kb1 Qd2
62. Ka1 Kc3
63. Kb1 Qb2#
My opponent realised that Old Matey, that chessic Grim Reaper was not too far away and waved the white flag. Unless Ger can beat al-fiere in his remaining match I will come top in my group of the Sneaky Knight's Team MT - that will be really nice! Anyhow for now I am content to be back in the Class A ranks even if this only proves to be temporary. Anyhow, hope you all have a good read. Bye for now - Joanne |
