My K controls the f column, unles... |

I am glad with a draw (again a 1800). |

41. Rf3 Rd6 42. Kh4 b6

It seems a bad choice, and it is: Now, Rf2+, Rd7, RxR, KxR, axb6 and I am lost. My K doesn't have time to take on b6 before it is defended by the c pawn. |

43. axb6+

? Even if my pawns get splitted, this gives life to my K as an active piece. |

43... Kxb6 44. Kh5 a5 45. bxa5+ Kxa5
|
Draw is assured. If Rf5+, Ka4 and I'll threaten his pawns from the back. He has to exchange R in order to take my h pawn, and this will give me time to grab his pawns. |

46. Rg3 Kb5 47. Rg6 Rxg6 48. Kxg6 Kc4

Now I am even winning! |

He resigned here. 1800? No. It was his first game, his rating was only temporary. But playing "as he was a 1800" paid, even with my usual blunders. Thanks for reading and commenting! |
