31. Kxb2 |
? Feeling confident that he could withstand my last ditch effort, vegiemite eliminates that particular threat. However...... | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
31... Nc4+ |
Keep moving king.....I'll sac again on c3 if I have to. I felt like David loading one lowly little rock into his slingshot at this point, just praying for the chance to sling it. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
32. Kc1 |
! Getting to a square which cannot be safely checked (32...Qf4 loses the queen and the game immediately). So.... | ||||||||

32... Ne5 |
The knight returns to e5, which has been incredibly weak the whole game. However, it is a jumping off point to d3, which has possibilities if it can be played. Black is committed to yet another sac on c3 next. | ||||||||

33. hxg6 |
White has mate in one. Any move that black makes MUST deliver check or the game is over. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
33... Rxc3+ |
! not Nd3 , as the white king can move to d2 and there are no more checks available for black. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
34. Bxc3 |
White still has an overwhelming material advantage, so he removes the threat. | ||||||||

34... Qxc3+ |
Of course. Black must now keep the white king on the QUEENSIDE to prevent him from getting any help from his other pieces. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
35. Kd1 |
White moves towards his protective pieces. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
35... Qf3+ |
! With the chance to pick off the white bishop. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
36. Kc2 |
? black picks up the free bishop with a check. Ke1 was the better play, as the assault could have been withstood after 37. Nd3 BxN. | ||||||||

36... Qxf5+ |
Black's persistence is about to pay off. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
37. Kc1 |
? White is obviously playing on tilt and not making the best decisions. This move allows black the luxury of utilizing his knight. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
37... Nd3+ |
Black has no illusions of winning here. A draw is the goal. The knight MUST be sacrificed to get the white king away from the c1-h8 diagonal. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
38. Kc2 |
? Black now thinks a draw is a lock, and a win may even be possible. White walks right into a discovered check. | ||||||||

38... Nf4+ |
Black checks again with the discovered check that (temporarily) blocks the white queen from getting back to help defend. | ||||||||

39. Kb3 |
And the long sought after draw is assured. White probably saw this as well, and didn't want to risk losing the full point. | ||||||||

39... Qd3+ |
Of course. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
40. Ka4 |
Kb2 could allow the black knight back into the hunt in two moves. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
40... Qc4+ |
Of course. | ||||||||
