Hi everyone! After dropping 6 points to Yoshark after conceding yet another unnecessary Low Draw late this afternoon, things worked out fine for The Beginner at 1146 GMT. One little pawn move and then a few moves later I ended up delivering checkmate! This victory almost cancelled out the points lost from the Low Draw in the Yoshark game so not such a bad day after all. This is the Annotations Project Pt. 2 and we take up the action on Move 9 when I elect to play e6. | ||||

9. ...... e6 - this was before it was pointed out that maybe Bg7 was the better move here. | ||||

18. b4 Bd6 19. Nc4+ Kc7 |

| | |||||
|
27. Bf3 Rxf3 28. gxf3 |
28. gxf3 - I did not make the decision to trade rook for bishop here lightly but I thought it was essential to break up the bishop pair especially as Bob could play a move as Nd6, hitting at my b7 pawn. This may, however open up attacking lines to the WK. | ||||

28... Qf8 29. Kg2 Be7 |
29. ....... Be7 - Fou Lenoir is not happy on d6 so Glenda makes room for him to come to e7. | ||||

|
30. Nd6 Bxd6 31. exd6 |
31. exd6 - I decided to get rid of Bob's knight at the expense of Fou Lenoir. It has given Bob a passer and I must beware of it. | ||||

|
31... Qf5 |
31. ........ Qf5 - Glenda has had enough of defending on the back row so she defends the vulnerable c5 pawn from a more central square. More crucially Glenda guards g5 preventing for the moment Bg5. It is essential that she prevents this because my rook will be needed to block the d7 pawn. | ||||

|
32. d7 Rd8 33. Rd2 g5 |
33. ....... g5 - I have a little plan that involves opening up the WK and Glenda hassling him a bit. | ||||
| | |||||
|
34. b6 a6 |
34. ...... a6 - Henry is boxed in on b8 but at least Bob cannot attack him via the a column. | ||||
