Club plays 37.Kc1


No cowering in corners.

I'll be interested to see what BC comes up with as the quickest way to win from here.

3 options
39. Nd4
39. Qd4
39. Resign

Votes please.

39. Nd4 seems the best move to me as I don't see a clear path to checkmate (although have no doubt that it's not far away.

39. Qd4 Rd2+ 40. Kc1 Rxd4 and then
41. Nxd4 Qxd4 threatening mate on both d2 and c3.
41. Kxb2 King move (any) 42. Qd3 with mate in 6 (including a spite knight check and rook sacrifice).

amendment
that last line should read
41. Kxb2 Rd2+ 42 King move (any) Qd3 with mate in 6.

Offer her a draw with the opportunity to play white.

I'd certainly be interested to play with the colours reversed so that BC can show us what we should have done!

you guys played very well. The Problem was not your play.The problem was that It was an unsound opening.Sure in a blitz game it's viable,but not a Tournament or correspondence game.I will play another game and take the opposite color.But not with this opening.Select something else. BC

Thanks BC. We'll resign here then as there's little point continuing.

I'm always up for another game. Who else would want to join?
