No matter how white does in the current position, he will be free afterward to administer spankings to any uppity observers who wish to lay the gauntlent down and step into the ring. :/\chop :yep:

Before dealing with him, first you must deal with me :cool:

Your move 23. Be1-f2
My move 23.../Qb6-a6

You should better start to make the moves that I expect you to make, for I always calculate with the strongest reaction of my noble opponent. :lol:

Your move 23.../Qb6-a6
Mine: 24. Rb1-d1

I think I lost the thread here somewhere :-?

Your move 24. Rb1-d1
My move 24.../Be5xc3

If your move 24. b2xc3
then my move 24. .../Rc8xc3

Don't worry, it's only a lower being :)

:damn:

You lucky dog. I messed up my notes there, and made the move that I exactly planned to avoid. Damn mishap.

Make something out of it! ;)

... which seems to be a bit unrealistical, today's long range scans have taught me. The rotten smell of a remis is in the air, I fear.

I hate remis. It looks so damn politically correct. http://www.langkawi.dk/smileys/u0100.gif

Hehe, no thanks, that's why I'm just an observer, more fun to watch than to get a toasting :-j :yep:

Your move 24. .../Rc8xc3
My move: 25. Qg2-f3

What's a remis?

Boooh - I cant believe my luck. Yyou haven't seen fe6:...? That move really made me nervous, I analysed it almost into the endgame. It would have killed all my victory chances and equalized all chances again, most likely causing a draw (a "remis"), even a victory for white if I wouldn't have played super-precisely from now on.

You oversaw it?

You'll have to give me the line after the game as I didn't see that move leading anywhere.

Before that move I saw roughly 50:50 chances for a draw or black victory. after that move I saw it 30:70 for a white victory or draw. That'S why I consider Rxc3 a bad move. It gave you the possebility to secure a draw and eventually start to reach out at my king in a dangerous manner. fe6: almost would have compensated for that lost pawn. With Qf3 instead of fe6: you are still stuck with one pawn behind, more pawns in the pot, and increasing initiative for Black. At least that's how I see it.

Will remember to calculate some variations during post-game analysis. It now is still complicated a position.

Found it! :D

Your move: 25. Qg2-f3

Good game, can't wait to see how it turns out. :up:
