Mar-15-19  Andrew Chapman: I guess 41.. g4 was worth a try!
Mar-16-19  Whitehat1963: “I’m not worried about a mate in one, Duda, Duda. I’ll play 41...g4 all Duda day.”
Mar-16-19  areknames: At first glance this seems like a pretty lackadaisical effort by Duda.
Mar-18-19  Pedro Fernandez: Very funny from Duda.

41...Rf3+ 42.Kxf3 g4+ forcing White to acknowledge the check and giving White two chances to go wrong. (43.Kxg4 or 43. Kg3).
