91. Re6+
Check

King back

Hitting the bishop

Marking time

 
94. Bb3
Not sure of the point of this move. I would have been tempted to push the a pawn

 
94... Rg3
Rook moves away

 
95. Rd6
Priyanka is hypnotizing me with the way her pieces are swinging back and forth across the board. I am finding it hard to understand what her plan is and why she is not advancing the a pawn (not immediately, obviously, but I think I would have played Rb6 and then advanced the pawn). I guess that is the difference between a strong county player like myself and a Master.

95... Re3
This rook seems to be marking time.

 
96. Kg2
Slight repositioning of the king.

 
96... Rg3+
A check

 
97. Kf2
Out of check

 
97... Rh3
Presumably staying on the Bb3 to prevent the immediate advance of the a pawn.

 
98. Re6
Minor adjustment of the rook

 
98... Rh1
Perhaps with the idea of Ra1 if necessary?

99. Kg2
Attacking the rook

 
99... Rc1
Rook runs

 
100. Rb6
Maybe she is doing what I suggested a few moves back - protect the rook and then advance the pawn.

 
100... Rc3
Not sure why this rook move was played.
