My brain is fried. When I imagine this position, I imagined your knight on 5,7. Sigh...

It might have been a good move, I couldn't tell last night. After NxH, both Q(5,10)+ and Q(5,11)+ don't seem to cut it and I can get away, but if instead C(5,10)+, I was going on one hell of a king walk. Can my king ultimately get away? I don't know, I have to go all the way to (6,15) before the bishop can intervene. Risky at the very least.

I think if it wasn't for my bishop this position would be lost for me. Certainly I wouldn't like this move, and I don't want to move my king in the other direction.

 

33... K(7,9)

HorribleTomato

Q(5,7)+ try getting out of this!

34... K(8,8)

HorribleTomato

H(6,8)+ I think this is winning. Or a terrible blunder. It can go either way.

HorribleTomato

And yes, I am fully aware my hawk is hanging.

captaintugwash

I think I can safely capture but I'll wait for the board.

HorribleTomato

Oh yes tugwash please do so!

@vickalan, you might want to remove one white queen grin.png

Thanks Martin0. I noticed the error right after I posted it. Fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out.happy.png

I've also done the same mistake a few times and also noticing directly after I post. Luckily no one has noticed when I make mistakes, so maybe I should pretend I never make them grin.png

I feel like tomoato is trying to bluff me into not taking the hawk! I'm a poker player, I know a rat when I smell one.

 

35... Bx(6,8)

HorribleTomato

I may have a few tricks up my sleeve, Tugwash.

He says, not moving instantly...

HorribleTomato

... or I don't.

Qx(6,8)

Premove: N(7,8) 

C(7,18)

I think I missed some stuff a few moves ago. Whatever.

captaintugwash

 I thought you were intending C(5,8), thinking the three checkmate threats were too much, but the chancellor covers two and either the rook or hawk can cover the third.

 

I still have to tread carefully.

HorribleTomato

I actually was thinking of that, and also C(5,7) But your defense is too good. So I'll weaken it!

captaintugwash

"But your defense is too good."

I've got to admit a healthy dose of luck. You think I knew that chancellor of mine was doing an excellent defensive job when this attack started?

 

37. H(10,11)

 

I prefer to move to (5,6) but I'm not completely sure if my hawk is needed for defence still (other than defending the obvious threat), better to play it safe. I don't mind giving up tempi when I'm so far ahead in material.
