41... Qc2 42. Rd1 Rf2 43. Rg1 Rd2 |
Neither side can do a lot, but glare at each other and make empty threats. Let's play a hypothetical Qe5 followed by peta wanting to advance the c-pawn. 44. Qe5 c5 45. Qc7+ Ka6 46. Qc8 Ka7. would occur which is a draw by repetition. If you go to a5 I give a check on a8. if Black goes to b5 I go to e8. Black can escape with his king, but I'll be putting checks everywhere until he finally lines up his pieces with his king after which I give check and trade them of. Advancing the b-pawn has the same problem in that it makes your king more vulnerable to checks and it doesn't actually do anything. On top of all that you need to watch out for Black's a-pawn not falling somewhere along the line.As long as I don't place my pieces on a square where Black can trade positively and I keep the b2 pawn under protection Black can't progress. It is under the assumption that I won't blunder that a draw is offered. It was a pretty enjoyable game ( and frustrating at times ), but I'm pretty sure peta would wipe the floor with me were he to play his usual opening. My long term planning in a game definitely still needs work, as well as my endgame skills. In this game I took several days per move in the endgame which I of course wouldn't get in an over the board game. I've been slowly improving myself in the areas I still lack in, but it'll still be a long road from here as this game confirmed the fact that I'm still lacking. | ||||||
