Whites idea now seems to counterattack at my back rank, but it is well defended. | ||||

30... Rexf3 |
of course. | ||||

31. Qd8+ |
completely pointless as it achieves nothing at all, white is clutching at straws. | ||||

31... Ne8 32. Kg2 Rf3xf1+ 33. Kxh3 Rh5+ |
Both of whites possible responses here lead straight to checkmate-if 34 Kg4, then Qg6 ,35 Qg5 (forced), Q Q mate. | ||||

I was quite pleased with my play in this game because it was tricky finding the moves but I was never in trouble myself, and I think that the way I kept increasing the pressure on whites king showed a high level of skill as well as patience, however I am in no doubt that my opponent was playing well below par when you consider their rating. | ||||
