48. Bf2 Nf6 49. Bh4 Ne4 50. Be1
50. Be1 - I expected Bd8 leading to a queenside pawn trade.

 
50... Nc5 51. Bg3 Nd3+ 52. Kf3 f4
52. .... f4 - I am prepared to give back one of my pawns to try and get white into a lost K&P ending.

54. Bd8 Ne5+ 55. Ke2 Nxc4 56. Bxc7
56. .... Bxc7 - now the c pawns are traded off. Henry is also eyeing up a white p(r)awn on d5. I must remind you that prawns are Henry's special dish no matter on what platter and how they are served up.

56... Ke5 57. Kf3 Ne3 58. Bxd6+ Kxd6 59. Kxf4 Nxd5+
59. ..... Nxd5+ - the white bishop is sacrificed to try and prevent my pawns reaching Glendadom. However, there are still two black pawns on the board and only one white one. I also have an extra piece.

68... a3 69. Kd2 a2 70. Kd3 a1=Q
70....... a1/Q - However, with this move the mere sight of Glenda induces white to wave the white flag. I will have another endgame for you to peruse shortly. Kind regards - Joanne
