51... Kd6 |
51. ......... Kd6!! - now we get another tactic, the knight and the king are both on dark squares, white has a lsb. This king move keeps out the white king. I call this tactic the Joblock - it is very effective here. | ||||

52. Kc4 b5+ 53. axb5 cxb5+ 54. Kxb5 Ke5 |
54. .......... Ke5 - over the last few moves I decided to liquidate my queenside pawns to get my king over to the kingside and try and crown one or both of my kingside pawns. It will be the g pawn that will spell checkmate for my opponent. My a pawn is a handy decoy for the white king, forcing him to waste 2 vital tempi in capturing the pawn. Thankfully this decision paid off. | ||||

55. Ka6 Kf4 56. Bb7 Kg3 57. Bc8 |
57. Bc8 - defends the h pawn but the knight will soon round it up and eat it up. | ||||

57... Nh5 58. Kxa7 Nf4 59. Kb6 Nxh3 60. Kc5 |
60 . Kc5 - the white king is approaching fast? Will he get to g1 on time? I now guard the queening square with Nf2 which will force white to give up his bishop. Notice that I cannot lose this game with the fall of the h pawn whatever happens now. | ||||

60... Nf2 61. Kd4 h5 62. Ke3 h4 63. Ke2 h3 64. Kf1 h2 |
64. ........ h2 - prevents the wk from reaching g1. | ||||
| | |||||
|
65. Bb7 h1=Q+ 66. Bxh1 Nxh1 67. Kg1 Nf2 |
67. ........... Nf2 - the knight moves and forces Kf1 - it is white's only legal move. Must be careful, must not allow the wrong kind of mate! | ||||

68. Kf1 Kh2 |
68. ....... Kh2 - my king feels bad about giving up his beloved steed, but soon he is about to get a new wife (not sure it is a good thing - marriages were not always made in heaven in medieval times!!). It was midnight on Sunday 18 May 2008. I set my alarm clock for 645 am BST and at the same time set up 69 ......... g4 as a conditional move, just in case white takes the knight. | ||||

69. Kxf2 g4 70. Kf1 |
70. Kf1 then resigns - my alarm clock goes off, I log in at about 645 BST on Monday morning. I am greeted by a white flag from my opponent as he cannot stop the g pawn from crowning and then proceeding to play a deadly game of kiss chase with the white king! Wheeew, what a relief!! | ||||
