32. Rd3
32. Rd3 - that rook is heading for the b column, I must stop this.

 
32... Rc3 33. Rxc3 dxc3
33. ...... dxc3 - with another rook trade but can I protect my isolated passer on c3?

 
34. Kd3 Nd4

35. f4 c2
35. ...... c2 - so he does not take my c pawn. I therefore advance it to one square away from Glendadom. This will tie down his king and dark squared bishop but what can Henry do while this is happening?

 
36. Bb2 Ke6 37. a4
37. a4 - if Bxd4?? then the c2 pawn crowns at once.

38. ...... fxe5 - pawn trade.

 
39. Kd2 Kd5 40. Kd3 gxh5 41. gxh5

43. a5 Kg5 44. Bxd4 c1=Q+
44. ...... c1/Q+ - Glenda makes a brief appearance, to drag the WK one square up the board and make him lose a vital tempo.

46. Kd2 Kxh5 47. Kd3 Kg4
47. ....... Kg4 - Henry decided to go up the board just in case the WK tries to stop my h pawn from crowning.

 
48. Kxd4 h5 49. Kc5
49. Kc5 - the race is on ......

 
49... h4 50. Kb6 h3
