41. Qc5
|
I considered trading queens and picking off the f-pawn, but the passed a-pawn scared me |
 
|
| |
|
|
41... Bxf1+
|
he's ready to trade the other pieces too |
|
| |
|
|
42. Rxf1
|
I really don't have a choice |
|
| |
|
|
42... Rxf1
|
we trade bishops and now he wants to trade rooks too |
|
| |
|
|
43. Kxf1
|
I have to! |
|
| |
|
|
43... Qe8
|
he picks on my isolated pawn |
|
| |
|
|
44. Qc3
|
I attack his weak pawn (I think I should have played Qc4, protecting mine and attacking his a-pawn) |
|
| |
|
|
44... Qb5+
|
he checks me instead of taking the pawn! |
|
| |
|
|
45. Ke1
|
I need to get my king over to the a-file |
|
| |
|
|
45... Qb1+
|
he checks me again, forking the pawn in the process |
|
| |
|
|
46. Kd2
|
I keep going toward the a-file |
|
| |
|
|
46... Qa2+
|
he still prefers checks to taking the pawn! |
|
| |
|
|
47. Qc2
|
I'm close enough to the a-file to offer to trade queens now |
|
| |
|
|
47... Qa5+
|
check again... |
|
| |
|
|
48. Qc3 Qa2+
|
and again... |
|
| |
|
|
49. Qc2 Qa5+ 50. Kc1 Qe1+ 51. Kb2 Qb4+ 52. Ka2 Qa5+ 53. Kb3 Qb5+ 54. Kc3 Qc5+ 55. Kd3 Qa3+
|
he's trying to get a perpetual check stalemate, so I work on a plan to hide behind the isolated pawn |
|
| |
|
|
56. Kd4 Qb4+ 57. Ke3 Qb6+ 58. Ke2 Qb5+ 59. Qd3 Qb2+ 60. Qd2 Qb5+ 61. Kf3 Qb3+ 62. Kg2
|
finally I move where he cannot put me in check |
|
| |
|
|
62... Qe6
|
he wants the pawn now so he can continue checking me |
|
| |
|
|
63. Qd5
|
I protect it and attack the queen |
|
| |
|
|
63... Qe7
|
he backs up but stays close |
|
| |
