Now your "it's a chancellor" comment makes sense!
But if I went where you thought I went, then CxN is probably drawing. That's why I said knight and not chancellor!

I can block with the guard, something you might not have realised. You can reconsider your last move if you desire. I haven't begun analysing yet so I have no idea if this works for you or not. That's for you to figure out.
IF K(8,10) That's what I would play but if I COULD take back, which is, IMO, taking too much for granted, CxC.
It's a bit messy right now so let's wait for vick to give us an official board update, with it being your move after 50... K(8,9)
And yeah blocking with the guard drops a rook with check, so I doubt I'll be doing that. Maybe this is ok.
This is what I have. Both of Tomato's moves had slight typos, so this is what I believe was intended:
49.Cx(10,8)+ should be 49.Cx(11,8)+
50.Q(8,17)+ should be 50.Q(8,23)+
Btw: when calculating a diagonal move, you can double check by making sure files and ranks change by the same. So queen going from (22,9) to (8,23) is a change of 14 both ways.
(diagram deleted. Going back to 49.Cx(11,8)+ which is shown at a later post)
I don't see any legal move by tugwash after 50.Q(8,23)+
Tug declared H(10,9) but this doesn't parry the check. Did I miss an edit or correction?
There was a lot of confusion during page 16 (see Tugwash K(8,9) and look at his edit. You are the MOD. You may
Restart from K(8,9)
Continue from all legal moves shown.
49...K(8,9) was a move by Tug (legal and already shown).
You followed with "50.Q(8,17)+" but that's not legal.
Do you want to play 50.Q(8,23)+? (my attempt to fix your move)
You can fix your move any way you want, but it has to be a queen move since you already specified "Q" (enforcing the "touch" rule).
I guess you thought I moved to (8,10) and not (8,9).
And you queen wants to go to (8,23)
Check this bad boy out...
(the rook on a9 is actually one to the left, I just didn't want to be sneaky and make it look like it wasn't influencial)
