32... d5

ok now i'm bored of typing. I've got a pretty short attention span... not the best quality for playing chess. Anyway, i probably won't post another comment for a few moves. You just have a look at the board and guess what i would have said. |

not a lot has happened has it.... lots of moving my castles with no real change to the board |

ok, i realise i probably should have moved my other castle to c6 rather than exchanging on b3. This would have made it easier to take his pawns on the left. Certainly the one on a3 |

I think i got carried away with the thought of promoting one of my pawns. I guess you could say i was overconfident at this stage |

but on closer inspection i realised it wasn't as bad as i first thought. Believe it or not i'm quite good at end games. It's all the chess before that which i'm a bit of a liability at. |

there.... Ok so it's not that clever, but it still does the trick. If i had pushed my pawn on e2 forward, he would have queen'd up on h8 putting me in check and gaining the advantage. By moving my castle to h2 i'm forcing his castle off the back line. Allowing me to get a queen and put him in check at the same time. |

now i guess he could have pushed his pawn up putting me in check first and then swapped castles... but that would have just delayed the out come. So to would have moving his castle to another square on the back line. |

now if i'd have had any style i would have promoted that pawn to a bishop. But i don't. And i like to make sure i win. After all, winning is the most important part of chess (see 'golden rule'). It also would have been a little insulting and cheeky to my very talented opponent who probably deserved to win this game. |

in summary... |

i guess i got lucky on a few occasions. It could have very easily been volhouder winning this game. I recommend challenging him to a game sometime. Just make sure you don't use my tactics about mentioning Sven Goran Erikson. I'm saving that for the much anticipated rematch ;) |

Don't let my rating fool you. The only reason it's so high is because i keep challenging this 7 year old kid with a rating of about 250. I've beaten him like 10 thousand times now. Thank you and i hope you've enjoyed my rubbish annotation. |
