37... Rh2+ 38. Kd3 Ra2
|
and now the a pawn is gone and you have a passed pawn of your own on the a file ...
I am now seriously worried !! |
 
|
| |
|
|
39. d5 Kf7 40. Kc3
|
... but decide that if you are to take my pawn? I'm not gonna allow your rook back out round the back of my king. |
|
| |
|
|
40... Rxa4
|
so you do.. |
|
| |
|
|
41. Kb3
|
.. and I cut off your retreat.
your rook must join your pawns and hopefully be trapped from my e pawn advance ...
|
|
| |
|
|
41... Ra5 42. Rf1+ Ke7
|
though I can't see anything better than a draw here for myself at present. |
|
| |
|
|
43. Rf5 Rc5 44. Re5+ Kd6 45. Re6+ Kd7
|
now ... here I cannot see a way through atall with my pawns :-(
and your pawn on a file is strong .. I can see only a draw at most for me but I'm not in your shoes ....
only panicking in mine ... |

|
looking now you cannot really loosen up your position and all your pieces are pretty bound to their current positions. any move will weaken your defences |
|
| |
|
|
46... Ra5
|
so you can't really be blamed for this one ... but it gives me great hope ... |
|
| |
|
|
47. Rc6
|
now my rook takes a strong position |
|
| |
|
|
47... Ra1
|
and I'm sure your chase is futile .. |
|
| |
|
|
48. e5 Re1 49. e6+
|
... but still there is no real way through ... |
|
| |
|
|
49... Ke7
|
.. unless you allow me to take your defending pawn on c7 !!!
surely king to d8 was better ?? let me know why you gave up your pawn here.. I cannot see me forcing anything with your king on d8 - but giving away your pawn has given away the game!! |
|
| |
|
|
50. Rxc7+ Kd6 51. Rd7+ Ke5
|
so now its elementary |
|
| |
|
|
52. e7 Kf6 53. d6 a6 54. Rd8 Kf7 55. Rf8+
|
Great game again..
It had a draw written all over it again - I'm sure you had me stronger than I felt - and maybe I was missing the killer moves that you were seeing at various points? the knight sacrifice was inspired and really got you right back into it ... cheers for another good one :-) |
