38... Rf8 |
38. ....... Rf8? - loses pawn by a deflection motif as you will see. | ||||
| | |||||
|
39. Re7+ Rf7 40. Rxf7+ Kxf7 41. Rxh6 |
41. Rxh6 - voila, a pawn up, after being under the cosh for a few moves it was nice to plumb in some conditional moves - moves 40 and 41. My patience is rewarded. Black now defends with Rc6. | ||||

41... Rc6 42. Rg6 a5 43. Rxg5 |
43. Rxg5 - now the g5 pawn drops off. | ||||

43... d5 44. Rg6 |
44. Rg6 - I thought for about 3 days before this little shot in the dark. My opponent did exactly as I had hoped though, played straight into my conditional moves as he thought he would win back the lost material. He does but at a cost as you will see. | ||||

44... Rxg6 45. fxg6+ Kxg6 46. Kd2 Kg5 47. Kd3 Kxg4 48. Kd4 |
48. Kd4 - black's king has duly snaffled up those white passers and although material is even in a K & P ending black is lost. Look at all those prawns! Henry is licking his lips. All three ebony pawns will duly drop off and it will be a toss up between one of my three ivory pawns as to which one gets to Glendadom. My opponent realised this and waved the white flag. What a relief! | ||||
