77. .... Kc8 - a rook trade is on the cards so Henry decides to move back to the kingside to stop his counterpart invading there. |

79. Kxg2 - the trade does take place and so Henry races back to the kingside. The queenside is completely locked so I feel confident of the final outcome here! Big words against an opponent like the Master Mater. |

83. ...... Be7 - with this move I said the following to Freddy in the chat - Can you now see a way through the Joblock?! Fou Lenoir can still move about so I do not see you giving me a zugzwang here!
easy19: it is not the joblock it just have the wrong bishop and i am out of options jstevens1: So, it looks like a draw after all!
easy19: yep it is now make it a 3 fold it would be well deserved
I did try and do just that, only I forgot to tick the check box, but at the second attempt I did do it and the game was drawn. This is only my second draw against Master strength opposition. Do not knock the Joblock my friends, note that Freddy had to sac material to risk losing to try and avoid conceding a Low Draw. One day an Expert such as Coach Ion may well over-reach himself in this way and pay the full penalty! For now, I will just enjoy this result and then look to regain my Class A status. Have a good read - bye for now - Joanne
