55. Kg1 Qe5 56. Qb1+ Kf6 57. Qf1+ Ke7 58. Qf3 d5 59. Qa3+ Kf6 60. Qf3+ Ke6 61. Qg4+
when in doubt throw in a check!

 
61... Ke7 62. Qb4+
patzer sees a check, patzer takes a check....

 
62... Kf6 63. Qb6+ Kg5 64. Qd8+ Kg6 65. Qb6+ Kh7 66. Kf2 Qf5+ 67. Kg2 Qe4+ 68. Kf2 d4 69. Qc5
mmm now I have run out of check and the d pawn is marching through. Help!

 
69... Qe3+ 70. Kg2 Qe2+ 71. Kg1 Qf3 72. Qxd4 Qxg3+ 73. Kf1 Qxh3+ 74. Kg1
And now, I have the d pawn - but at the cost of losing both my king side pawns. This is going to be hard, but perhaps not impossible. How on earth is she going to advance the pawns without exposing her king to loads of checks again?

74... Qg3+ 75. Kh1
So it must be right to stay behind the pawns, maybe my king can help stop them advance at some stage.

 
75... Qg6
mmm blocking off the checks....

 
76. Kh2
mmm here they come...

 
76... h5 77. Qf4 Qf6
Of course I can't exchange queens....

 
78. Qe4+ Kh6 79. Qe3+ g5
mmm my last check just encouraged her to advance the pawn, but I couldn't see what else I could do

 
80. Kg3 h4+ 81. Kg4 Qg6 82. Qe7 Qh5+ 83. Kh3
Kf5 loses for me

83... Qf3+
and this reply is forced too....

 
84. Kh2 Qf2+
Kh3 loses, fortunately I have another option

 
85. Kh1 Qd4 86. Qe6+
mmm good a few more checks...

 
86... Kh5 87. Qe8+ Kg4 88. Qe2+ Kf5 89. Qf2+
and now a little stalemate trick!

 
89... Qf4
but she doesn't fall for it. But will she fall for me, that is what I am interested in

 
90. Qc5+
another check, another move closer to that free dinner with the most beautiful girl on the planet

 
90... Qe5 91. Qf2+ Kg6 92. Qc2+ Kh5 93. Qd1+ g4
Damn! I was counting the moves. 50 moves without a pawn move or a capture and it is a draw. I was counting! Now I have to count again...

 
94. Qd2
Qd2 is forced

94... Qe4+ 95. Kg1 Qb1+ 96. Kg2 h3+ 97. Kh2
mmm another pawn move....

 
97... Qb8+ 98. Kh1 Qb7+ 99. Kh2 Qc7+ 100. Kh1 Qc6+
100 moves each, and still it is not certain what the outcome will be. We were the only players left in the playing arena now
