61. Kf3 Kf5 |
I close in with my king to support the charge. This is the point where I was finally certain that I had won. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
62. Kg2 |
White decides to take control by moving the king instead of twiddling the rook and letting me check the king with e4. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
62... e4 |
White now has two choices: twiddle the rook or Kf1. Kf1 is probably the better move because the rook creates a lot of pressure where it is. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
63. Rb7 f3+ |
The pawn barrage marches onward. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
64. Kg3 |
I think white was trying keep my king from moving in to support the pawns. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
64... f2 |
White is now hosed. I have two pawns about to be promoted, and white has two pieces with which to stop them. That means my king and remaining two pawns are free to roam. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
65. Kg2 |
White has now other move. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
65... e3 66. Kf1 |
White brings his king around to the other side of the f pawn to block my king from providing support. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
66... Ke4 67. Ke2 |
Perfactly timed to move into opposition. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
67... Bc3 |
Unfortunately, white just has to sit back and watch while I bring the rest of my pieces into position. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
68. Rb8 |
White twiddles the rook because he doesn't want to yield to my king. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
68... d4 |
I close the formation. If white tries to check my king, he will work his way over to the b pawn and bring it home. If not, then d3 , e2 , e1=Q . | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
69. Re8+ |
White opts to send my king travelling. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
69... Kd5 70. Rb8 |
White returns to guarding the b pawn. The purpose of all this was to separate my king from my pawns. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
70... d3+ |
Because of that check, white has the option to capture either the e or d pawn. Of course, it doesn't make any difference. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
71. Kxe3 |
White, having reached the point of inevitability, resigns just before I can promote a pawn. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
