39. a7 f4 40. a8=Q+ |
40. a8/Q+ - and now Glenda does appear in a combo of smoke and a huge fanfare of trumpets. She fixes her glare on the BK. Black blocks the check with his f pawn but now Glenda moves to g8 on her broomstick and glares at the BK from there. | ||||

40... f3 41. Qg8+ Kxh2 42. Qxh7+ Kg1 43. Qxf7 |
43. Qxf7 - two down one to go. | ||||

43... f2 |
43. .... f2 - now then. Interestingly enough, if it hadn't been for my passer on b2 the game would have been a draw due to the fact that I would have to either allow that pawn to crown or stalemate the BK. Thankfully as I have that b pawn I can now sacrifice Glenda for the f2 pawn and then crown the b2 pawn. | ||||

46. Kc6 - up we go! | ||||

46... Kd4 47. b5 Kc4 |
47. ...... Kc4 - the BK will not catch my passer! | ||||

48. b6 Kb4 49. b7 Ka5 |
49. ..... Ka5 - black is voluntarily putting his king on the side of the board hoping for a stalemate. No chance. Henry and Glenda know how to nail the BK. | ||||
| | |||||
|
50. b8=Q Ka4 51. Kc5 Ka3 |
51. ..... Ka3 - the BK tries to escape but Henry is in hot pursuit. Henry will catch him and the BK will receive the kiss of death from Glenda. Just before this can happen, black waves the white flag. A good handy win which pushes me towards passing my previous best rating of 1858. More to come but bye for now. Joanne | ||||
