This recapture also gives me play on the f file. |

She prevents me from playing d3-d4 with a dominating centre. |

I love this square for the bishop. I rather thought I was getting back into the game here. However around here the phone went. It was a chess playing friend, who is hard to get hold of. We had a lot to talk about, and I foolishly tried to play and chat at the same time. |

Rook moves. Now surely best is Be3 and black has to somehow figure out how to stop the repetition. But, as I said, I was foolishly trying to conduct a telephone conversation at the same time, and I made a terrible mistake. |

Thinking I was attacking the rook again. As soon as I made it, I realised my mistake. |

It is now hopeless. I resigned.
