41. Kb1 Ra4 42. Rb7 h4 |
42. ..... h4!! the start of this plan. If I take on h4 it breaks up my kingside pawns. I play my king to b2 but alas it is driven to a2 by a rook check on b4 on move 43. | ||||

46.... h3 - strange, I expected black to take on h2 with his rook. He will do this next move however. In the meantime me and my rook decide to liquidate black's queenside pawns and get a passer of my own. It seems to be another Battle of the Wings Part 2, only this time my passer never gets to leave the second rank, black's passer is on the 7th at the end! | ||||

52. Rc8 - the queenside pawns have been liquidated over the last few moves as planned and if black queens his pawn then I play my rook to h8 and give him a skewie. Black sees this though and forces resignation by playing his rook to e7 because it will interpose on h7 and the pawn will safely queen. It was time to hold out the white flag to my opponent on the grounds of ruinous loss of material. As far as the Experts are concerned, I still have a way to go to reach half point heaven but I was told that I did at least make the game interesting which is a step in the right direction towards such a goal. Look forward to your feedback everyone! Cheers and bye for now. Joanne | ||||
