129... Ke4 130. Qd2 Qf4 131. Qe2+ Kd4 132. Qd1+ Kc3 133. Qe1+ Kc4 134. Qe2+ Kb3 135. Qd3+ Kb2 136. Qe2+ Ka3 137. Qd3+ Kb4 138. Qb1+

Although I felt increasingly confident with every check, still her demeanour didn't change, that beautiful face didn't give any hint that the win she had been expecting was not on its way.... |

138... Kc4 139. Qc2+ Kb5 140. Qb3+ Kc5 141. Qc3+ Kb6 142. Qb3+ Kc6 143. Qe6+

It almost felt that the black king was trying to visit every single square on the board. In fact Qe6 was a mistake, and technically changed a drawing position into a lost position for white. I was tiring at the time. Unfortunately for her, and fortunately for me, she couldn't take adavantage of it before the 50 move rule kicked in. |

and now, with a sigh of relief I pointed out that it was 50 moves since a pawn move and so it was a draw. I expected to see disappointment on her face, and she just smiled, extended her hand and said "I 'ope you like Thai cooking..."
Kf2 would win for black, if there wasn't a 50 move rule., for instance 149. Qa2 Kg1, 150 Qa1 Qf1 and she is eventually going to escape the checks.
Thanks for reading this, don't forget to give me some stars and leave a comment! |
