White extremely wises refuses to exchange and undouble black's pawns - which would clearly lose - and also refuses to retreat to d3, allowing Be4+ and the bishop exchange - which would also lose. White finds the one move to draw. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
36... Be4 |
Black offers the bishop exchange again. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
37. Bb3 |
White wisely avoids. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
37... Bc6 |
Bishop drops back again. | ||||||
| | |||||||

not sure of the point of this - the king seemed perfectly placed on c3 | ||||||

38... h6 |
presumably h7-h8 is played to make sure it is safe from white's bishop. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
39. Bc2 |
White attacks f5. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
39... Ke6 |
Black protects. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
40. Bb3+ |
White checks. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
40... Ke7 |
King retreats. Maybe Bd5 was a better winning attempt, but it is hard for black to win. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
41. Kc3 |
King returns. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
41... Kd7 |
Another king move. | ||||||
| | |||||||

King drops back and a draw agreed. My friend asked me "Be interesting to know if you think I played particularly well or if my opponent made major blunders." I think my considered reply would be - neither side made any major blunders. White played the opening slightly insipidly and dropped a pawn. It was always going to be hard to convert the pawn, but white played extremely well from that point on, and prevented black from converting. Anyway, many thanks for reading. Please leave a comment or two, let me know how I am doing with my annotations, and grade this annotation on the star system. Until next time dear reader! | ||||||
