the knight blocks |

|
|
|
31... Qa4+
|
and I got to thinking I might get away with this |

|
|
|
32. Kc3
|
I wanted to avoid the b-file because he could bring his rook into play. |

|
|
|
32... Qa5+
|
I just couldnt see how he could make any headway. |

|
|
|
33. Kc2
|
but he found a nice resource here.... |

|
|
|
33... dxe4
|
I wonder what he's up to |

|
|
|
34. fxe4
|
still no alarm bells... |

|
|
|
34... Bxe4+
|
I still hadnt seen it |

|
|
|
35. Qxe4
|
until he played this next move... |

|
|
|
35... Qd2+
|
I now realise he just needed my queen out of the way. If now 36 Kb1 then 36...Qd1 37 Ka2 Qa4 38 Kb1 Nd2 forking my queen. |

|
|
|
36. Kb3
|
So I have no choice but to allow his rook to join the party. |

|
|
|
36... Rb8+
|
and then I resigned because 37 Ka2 Rxb2 leads to mate. A very nice finish by him I thought. |
