Rxe5. I feel like i have given the game to Vickalan. I am going to take a little breather and try to think of a genius move later.

I think your assessment is right (best case for me) or this game is going into a draw. The material difference is knight vs. witch. We both have 6 pawns, in two groups of connected pawns, and one isolated pawn, so that is about equal.

I feel like trading is bad, but this move seems to work for me

Sorry for slow play. I'll need to use vacation time. I'm travelling and have little time. I'll make sure to play a move within 7 days from your last move (hopefully sooner).

Thanks Waredude. I am still travelling and am at cousin's house now. I am playing whenever I can. The game just hit 40 moves so vacation time is refreshed. But I'm not going to ask for it yet. My move:
40.Ne4

I just knew you would pay that!

Take all the time that you need vick. That IS just more time for me to think as well after all.

I will make my move later today

I anticipated you would play that. Probably your best move. I don't remember many games where the witch is used that strongly late in a game.surprise.png

Sorry, but I need to call for vacation again. Since your move was 2 days ago, I will have to move by Wednesday 8/8 at the latest. I'm travelling home now (back to Ohio), and have a 10 hour drive. Once I get back and take care of some stuff I will keep playing. I should be able to play my next move by August 5 or 6, I hope. Sorry again for the delay.

Np. I am thinking on your time after all, not mine
