Bulldog Chess with Hunter (HorribleTomato - vickalan)

Kh5 I'm taking sally for a ride!

Conditional: Qe2/f3/g4+ Kh6 Qxi7 d8=Q

59.Kh5...Qd5+

Ki6

60...Qe6+

Ki5 Qh3+ Kj6

Do you mean Kj5?
Then conditional ...Qh3+ 62.Kj6?

Kj5 is the only legal move tomato can make that allows the follow up Qh3+.

yes

I just wanted to make sure Tomato didn't have a technicality to change his move. (especially since it came with a 2-move play).

61.Kj5...Qg8+

i6

62...Qg2+

I think the draw has slipped away...

This was a blunder. You should take the line that tomato had as conditionals... grab the queen, allow him to promote (it costs him a pawn), and then grab the j2 pawn, and tomato is only a single pawn up with his king exposed. That was your best chance to draw.

I'm only commenting now because it's unrated, by the way.

Ki5

Maybe, but I'm not sure. It does gain a pawn, but leaves White able to check Black. I'm not sure if being down on pawns (3 vs 2) while also being checked still gives me a guaranteed draw. Not sure. Or is there a way to know?

I'm wondering if trying to achieve perpetual checks (or 50 checks with no progress, or 3-time repetition) is an equal chance to draw.

Vickalan - " It does gain a pawn, but leaves White able to check Black. I'm not sure if being down on pawns (3 vs 2) while also being checked still gives me a guaranteed draw. Not sure. Or is there a way to know?"

Your problem is that you don't have continuous checks, so eventually white promotes d7. You had a chance to deal with that pawn, but that chance has gone. Yes white can keep checking you, but what does he gain? He's not going to checkmate you by chasing you with his queen, white must advance pawns to win, and he must do so without losing another pawn for nothing while avoiding perpetual checks. That isn't so easy with an open board and queens on the board.

White was still better, however it was black's best drawing chance, imo.
