I take back, threatening e5-e4 forking king and bishop. |
|

42. Be2
|
So the bishop runs. |

Maybe this final king move was not needed, but I wanted to avoid any tricks with a pin along the b file. Any views dear reader? |

With the idea, if I play f5xg4 then he can take my pawn on e4. |
|
| |
|
|
47... Re7
|
So I protect the pawn on e4. |

Threatening my a pawn. We were both getting short of time here. I thought "well what of it? If I play f5-f4 and he plays 49. Rxa5+ after Kb7 I am threatening both bxRa5 and f4-f3+ winning his bishop. He can't cope with both threats surely?" |
|
| |
|
|
48... f4
|
So I plough on. |
