17. Qc2 b5 18. axb6 e.p. Ndxb6 19. Nxb6 Nxb6 |
So I was thinking this isn't too bad for me. She has an isolated a pawn and her bishop is bad, while mine was good. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
20. b3 |
and b3 makes it better - the pawns are protecting the white squares while the bishop protects the black squares | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
20... f5 |
mmm here comes the attack I feared.... | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
21. exf5 Rxf5 22. Rxa6 |
Ha! Take that my oriental friend! Her queen was over-worked protecting both a6 and Rf5. I glanced at her, hoping to see disappointment or surprise, but all I saw in return was this serene beauty, eyes glued to the board, looking to the left and then to the right. No sign at all that she thought she had dropped a pawn. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
22... Qxa6 23. Qxf5 Qa2 |
mm she has got a bit of an initiative in return. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
24. Qd3 |
mmm have way through the first session. I offer her a coffee. (The famous "coffee gambit"). She declines (The Coffee Gambit declined). | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
24... Nd7 25. Ne2 Rxb3 |
Oh my gosh! She has broken through, recovered the pawn, with advantage. Perhaps winning the pawn was not such a good idea after all. What do you think dear reader? | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
26. Nc3 Nb6 27. Rc1 Nxc4 28. Rc2 Qa6 29. Bc1 |
And now I have gone from being a pawn up to being a pawn down. She played Qa6 with an air of confidence, got up, for the first time in the game, turned round and started looking at the game behind her. I again got a lovely view of her long dark hair falling down her back. I followed the hair down, and then noticed what a lovely nice round behind she had. All sort of silly puns came into my mind. Does she like mooning? Does she live up to her name and like spanking? If so does she prefer to be the spanker or spankee? I had to force myself to concentrate in the game again. | |||||||
| | ||||||||

29... Kh8 30. Qe2 Rb4 31. f4 Kg8 |
I don't love to exchange pawns - when material down, exchange pawns, but not pieces. But taking on e5 gives her such a lovely square for her knight. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
32. Qg4 Qb7 33. Qe6+ Kh8 34. Qf7 Qd7 35. Ne4 h6 |
while e4 is a nice square for my knight, she makes sure it doesn't advance again | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
36. Kg1 exf4 37. Rxc4 Rxc4 38. Bb2 |
Aha! Forcing the return of the exchange | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
38... Rd4 39. Bxd4 cxd4 40. Qxf4 |
and my deficit is down to one pawn - and a doubled one at that. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
40... Qb7 |
She once again got up and started looking at the game behind her. I found myself just staring at her lovely backside again. It was so nice, so perfect. It was round, hugged by these tight black jeans. I found myself staring at the W on each of the pockets on the back of the jeans, and the little shiny studs on the corners of the pockets, and how the light reflected off these studs. I noticed how sometimes she would put her hands in her back pockets, and sometimes hold her hands behind her back. Once again, I had to put supreme effort into concentrating on my game again. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
41. Qf5 d3 |
mmm this passed d pawn could be a problem | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
42. Qf7 Qb1+ 43. Kg2 Qc2+ 44. Kh3 d2 45. Nxd2 Qxd2 46. Qxe7 Qxd5 |
mmm no soon as I deal with one passed d pawn, another appears! | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
47. Kg4 Kh7 48. h3 Qd1+ 49. Kf4 |
And here we broke for lunch. I asked her if she wanted to have lunch with me. She said "I want to go to the bitch." "The bitch?" I queried. "Yes the nice sandy bitch by the sea. I love walking on the bitch." She said smiling. Obviously this Siamese beauty had not mastered English yet. I smiled back. "Me too, I love walking on the bitch. Shall we go to the bitch together?" And so it was I got to spend the lunch break with her, on the "bitch". She was lovely company. I asked her to join me for supper that evening. She told me that she was winning easily, a clear pawn up, and wouldn't consider dining with an inferior player! "What if you don't win then?" "eeef I don't win ziss position I vill buy you dinner!" Right! that was it! I had to save what looked like a hopeless position! | |||||||

49... Qf1+ |
mmm only one square here, the other options lose my queen! | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
50. Kg4 Qd3 51. Qe1 Qg6+ |
I thought if I could keep queens on, and perhaps start checking her, I may have a chance. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
52. Kf3 |
And now I had an extra two hours on the clock, and the playing arena had emptied. No more distractions from her turning round and looking at the game behind her! | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
52... Qf5+ 53. Kg2 Qd5+ 54. Kf2 Kg6 |
mmm is she really getting anywhere in this ending? | |||||||
