Another exciting game on live chess. Unfortunately I blew this one, but I had a nice tactical combination.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here I had only three seconds left, so I blundered by playing 36...bxc1=Q+?? and lost. Can you find the right move?

Yeah, I think the general idea with a pawnroller is to cover as many promotion squares as possible to ensure at least one remains guarded.

Fritz analyses the position after 38.Rcc1 as -0.33 on first sight, so maybe there's still hope for black, but it's gonna be pretty tough, since he has only one other pawn to work with.

On the first one I think 34. ...Rd3 35. Rxd3 (best move) a3 also works.

Indeed, didn't notice that :)
