Blocking the check and preparing to bring the other rook into the game.

Black won't go quietly into that good night! He just keeps throwing every resource he has into the attack!

 
30. Nxd3
Yet again keeping my healthy pin alive.

 
30... Qc4
Black pins me right back! The only problem with that, of course, is............

Freaking brutal! I congratulate my opponent on a game well played (especially after survivng my initial onslaught). I don't find fault with his last move as he was in some serious time trouble (he had about 5 seconds left). This is one of my favorite OTB games ever. The sheer number of pins and their veracity was something I don't run across every day. It may seem like a rather mundane game to a lot of you stronger players (I know both sides made plenty of mistakes), but for patzers like me it sure was a beauty. Several of the players in this tournament hung around afterwards to compare games, and this one was awarded the "Freaking Brutal" award:) I hope you enjoyed it! - Thomas
