Swindle attempt: the rooks really can't get any better placed, so I think staying on the b1-h7 diagonal with the queen is best for now, giving checks and being annoying. The goal being to trade off the queens and drag away the king from protecting the bishop... going into a R+P endgame down 1 pt and facing connected passed pawns. =\

Leaving the a-pawn as bait for a swindle is key.

Example line (obviously not even remotely forced): ...Qc2+ 33. Rd2 Qh7 34. c5 Qh2+ 35. Qg2 Qxg2+ 36. Kxg2 Rxe3 37. Nxe3 etc

The point of Qc2+ is to draw the rook away from the back rank so the K can't just run Q-side during the checks.

Yes, just moved here, very nice town. Also I apologize for being a horrible person and never moving.

Also where were all the morons who complain about every little thing? No One complained the board co-ordinated were backwards last move. Or did no one want to admit they were a noob who USES the coordinates!


32... f4

Spoiler:
I'm kinda losing just hoping this leads to a pin or something. I'm sure it's not the move a computer would pick but i just see not pressing the issue as leading to my slow death through pawn promotion on the queenside.

And to think that you went to all of the trouble of getting the coordinates right :-)

(32...f5)

(Not that I'm complaining, or anything.)

sorry for the delay

Spoiler:
Candidate moves Bf4 (no, ...fxg4 looks bad),

I discussed a couple moves before why I didn't like 33.Nf4.
33. g5 one continuation is 33...f4 34.Nxf4 Qxg5 35.Nh3 but how do I stop the upcoming Rf8 ? 35...Qe7 36.Rd4 is met with ...g5 or ...Rxe3.
how bout Ng2 instead of Nh3. Then 35...Rxe3 36 Nxe3 Rf8
how bout 35 Rg1
...Qh4+ 36. Qg3 +-
...Qf6 36.Bd4
...Qe7 36. Ng6
...Qd8 36Qg4
...Qh6 36. Rg6

how do i meet 34...Qh7? Black has Qh2+ and is still threatening Rxe3. how bout 35 Ng2? Yes Ng2, if Rf8 or Rf5, I play 36.Bf4.

SO 33.g5 The likely lines are 33...f4 34.Nxf4 Qxg5 35.Rg1 and 33...f4 34.Nxf4 Qh7+ 35.Ng2

33....Qd6 is met by 34.Rh1




I play 33.g5
game so far: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 d5 3. exd5 c6 4. dxc6 Nxc6 5. Bb5 Bc5 6. Bxc6+ bxc6 7. Qe2 Be6 8. Nf3 exf4 9. Qe5 Qe7 10. d4 Bd6 11. Qe2 Nf6 12. O-O O-O 13. Nc3 Qc7 14. Ne5 f3 15. Nxf3 Bg4 16. h3 Bh2+ 17. Kh1 Nh5 18. Qd1 Ng3+ 19. Kxh2 Nxf1+ 20. Kg1 Bxf3 21. Qxf3 Qh2+ 22. Kf2 Qd6 23.

I have no real reason for the move. I'd like to just resign but blah can still win with a mistake or something.

34.Rd2 I'm not comfortable trading my queen for two rooks. For example 34.Rh1 f4 35.Bxg5 Re2+ 36.Qxe2 Rxe2+ 37.Kxe2.

Another candidate move is 34.Rd4 stopping f4, but I'm not worried about ...f4.



I play 34.Rd2

sorry for the delay. Forgot about this for a few days.

Spoiler:

I can win an exchange here. 35. Bf4 Re1 (or Re4) 36. Nc7 Re7 37.Rd8+ and black has to block with his rook (...Re8 38.Nxe8) because 37....Kh7 loses to 38.g6+ Qxg6 39 Qh3+ Qh6 39. Bxh6.



I play 35. Bf4
game so far: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 d5 3. exd5 c6 4. dxc6 Nxc6 5. Bb5 Bc5 6. Bxc6+ bxc6 7. Qe2 Be6 8. Nf3 exf4 9. Qe5 Qe7 10. d4 Bd6 11. Qe2 Nf6 12. O-O O-O 13. Nc3 Qc7 14. Ne5 f3 15.

35... Re8


Spoiler:
Maybe I can get both rooks along the back rank somehow after I slide this one over till the a file. Again anything I may/may not be able to do is all dependent on mistakes as the 2nd rooks path can be blocked easily. But perhaps this threat will tie down his power for a while. I'm probably ****ed when the pawns start advancing.

"Three years he said that. 'Good night, PyramidScheme. Good work. Sleep well. GrassHopperAA'll most likely kill you in the morning.'"

I think PyramidScheme's assessment, fatalist as it is, is basically correct: once White starts pushing those pawns, he won't be able to stop them. It'd be fair enough to resign once White touches one of those pawns, but until then, playing on doesn't hurt. Although, as noted, Ne3 is going to prevent/nullify even two rooks on the first rank.

White is planning something even better, I think:

Good point. I'd forgotten about that and was just reacting to PyramidScheme's comments.

Kxg6 runs into Rd6+ so that'll probably end the game. And Qh3+ rather than g6+ is even cleaner -- some idea, but saves a pawn.

I'm assuming you meant Re1 and not Re8. If 35...Re8 then 36. Bxe5

Spoiler:

See spoiler above. In line above 37...Kh7 actually continues 38.g6+ Kxg6 39. Qg3+ Kh7 (Kg6 Qg5 mate) 40.Qh4+ Kg6 (now h7 square is covered) 41. Rd6+ and I get a rook for a knight and pawn

Actually i just looked again. I can keep my pawn by not playing g6+. 38.Qh3+ Kg6 39. Rd6+ Re6 40. Rxd6+ Rxd6 41. Nxd6 Qxd6 and I get an exchange and simplify



I play 36. Nc7
game so far: 1. e4 e5 2. f4 d5 3. exd5 c6 4. dxc6 Nxc6 5. Bb5 Bc5 6. Bxc6+ bxc6 7. Qe2 Be6 8. Nf3 exf4 9. Qe5 Qe7 10. d4 Bd6 11. Qe2 Nf6 12. O-O O-O 13. Nc3 Qc7 14. Ne5 f3 15. Nxf3 Bg4 16. h3 Bh2+ 17. Kh1 Nh5 18. Qd1 Ng3+ 19. Kxh2 Nxf1+ 20. Kg1 Bxf3 21. Qxf3 Qh2+ 22. Kf2 Qd6 23.

Really sorry I have been sick and working 12am-8am's lately and just totally forgot about this until I posted here last night. Yes I meant Re1 as I put in the diagram, thanks. Glad there is no call for me to actually make that move I'd just resign :P

37... R6e4

Spoiler:
Moves the Rook out of attack and blocks the diaganol for his queen to come down to the last rank. Maybe if he does Rd8+ I'll have some rook checks on the king where if he trades the queen for both Rooks I'd have a Qe7+ fork. Wishful thinking but all I have left.
Actually If he plays Rd8+ I'll probably just resign because of the Queen check by sliding it horizontally to the end column, blah whatever.
