hmmm Crunch time. at this stage of the game it was final draw. i took me a Long time to analyse many courses on how to get that damn pawn and i couldnt see a way without it costing me a piece for a pawn while his queen would still be alive. i did not like that trade off. im pretty sure he felt confident he could race it there too.
i was stuck for atleast a day then when i stopped thinking about it. it came to me. if i look back when i sacrificed my queen it was cause i felt confident i could face him 2rooks 1 knight 1 bishop vs 1 rook 1 queen. Where had that confidence gone look for the checkmate Trix! and i see it! look at that nice resting spot on g5 for my knight and then Rb8# it was so simple. will my oponent see it coming or will he keep racing his pawn down

He also gave me a blind spot to get my knight there, i felt confident if he started to make my king dance i could still get there |

have to protect the knight, cant believe hes giving me the time to get my king closer to his king to help solidify a checkmate. i think he still thivks im looking for a way to eat his pawn |

he left his pawn hanging maybe the cat was out of the bag now. but i felt not taking the pawn and using it as a view blocker from his queen to be wiser |

*shreaking cat noise* "The Cat is RRRRRRRRRight out of the bag", my opponent didnt see this brazen move coming 'til almost the last second! can he do something about it.
The pressure of going after the racing pawn has shifted to preventing a Checkmate |

hmmm blocks the immediate Rb8# cant obviously got to rc7 either. what about rd7 hmmm
no! Qg4+ then he lops of the rook. retreating the rook down doesnt look wise. |

hmmm un anticipated reply. if i move king he kills my bishop. if i eat with my bishop it looks like hes going to get his queen off. but then i look at board i dont really understand his move here or unless he feels i will blunder. i analysed that if he takes the Bishop with his king i can prevent him from queening. and if he goes for a queen straight its back to the same state of game less a pawn for him |
