Bulldog Candidate Game (captaintugwash - HorribleTomato)


I won a game of cat and mouse bulldog after hanging my queen. There's one thing you can do before resigning... all out attack! Sometimes it works. I don't expect tomato to throw in the towel until he can see forced checkmate.

I have to be such an IDIOT when it matters. BUT I FLIPPIN' ACE EVERYTHING ELSE! WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?

You thought wrong.
There will be no checkmate with tug around. His witch has a greater value, his queen is ON my king.
HE shall checkmate me soon.
More like 11. exd6+ fxe3 12. cxd7 Be7 13. Bb5#
If he plays accurately (12... Qg7) he loses a guard and two pawns for the witch, and I'd have a 4x2 pawn storm on the a,b,c and d files. I think that's adequate comepnsation for the witch.
I did expect the bishop to block though. I would say the position here is balanced.
Will look at this again tomorrow, not sure where to put my witch yet.
