'and now... I'm gonna be six points down... against the Master Mater...'

'maybe I still have a chance!'

'C'mon Freddy - that c4 pawn is looking very tasty right now!'

'wait a moment... hey, I made Freddy retreat! woohoo!'

'and now I have the b-file again! Things are looking up!' [as you have probably worked out by now, I've been stripped of all rational thought in regards to this game :P]

'pffft... the e-file's nothing'

'........' At this point, I finally had enough and resigned at this point. This is my third attempt against Freddy, and though I was busted at only the 23rd move, (in my eyes, at least) this lasted better than my first two games against him in the Traxler mini-tournament. I am currently set up for two more games against him in a stonewall mini-tournament, (which was meant for members of the Knights Of Honour club, but Freddy was kind enough to fill me in an extra slot) so I'll see what I can do with those chances :)
