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.

When I grabbed that lowly pawn with the queen, that was basically my way of saying "I can handle whatever you've got", I felt like I had the time to go after your trapped chancellor. Of course it wasn't that long ago where I realised that if not for my chancellor being so well place (guarding both (7,7) and (7,9)) then I'd have lost. So yeah, somewhat lucky.

 

I'll wait for vick to catch up with the latest flurry, I think I know what I'm moving though.

HorribleTomato

One last shot to at least draw for me. I'd probably resign if you see it, which you will. Just that tiny hope.

captaintugwash

I'll play my move now to disappoint you.

 

38. G(8,10)

 

No prizes for guessing where my king is going. I wouldn't resign yet though, I mean you saw how close you came despite being several pieces down. I do not have a coordinated attack, I've been on the defensive for so long. I do have a plan, and I'd imagine I will win this now, but I'm not 100% sure.

HorribleTomato

I may have repetition, but your surrounding pieces make that hard. Wait for board.

I'm assuming 38.Q(-5,17) is actually 38.Q(-5,19). If not Tomato can play 38.Q(-3,17) instead.

Check that hawk out, covering (12,9). Makes me happy that I kept him in defence.

captaintugwash

I'm in no hurry, still got checkmate threats, and I don't want to let you check me to a draw.

captaintugwash

Oh sorry I forgot I left it on my move, I thought tomato was just taking his time.

On it now, gimme ten minutes or so.

A cheeky queen sac? I don't think so. I appreciate you still looking for the win though, you're a tough opponent. Even miles ahead, you're making me work.

I do like that the chancellor can deliver mate alone. There's C(6,9), and also if my king goes to (10,8) there's C(12,9), although the hawk is covering. But that's two checkmate threats with just the chancellor.

captaintugwash

I reckon I can abandon the rook and counter attack, I'm not going to rush this.

captaintugwash

In fact you might be lost.

Are you sure you want to make that move?
