| |
| KnottyQueen: Thorsson: <Why would you play Kh8? Normally it would be to play g5, possibly backed up by Rg8.> Talking about ugly moves, if we want to back g5 up (or even h5), why not Kf7? As long as our knight is hitting e5 (in case of Nf3-Ne5+), I guess it boils down to being faster in |

| KnottyQueen: Please someone tell me it really is Sunday! I didn't get it completely but since I rarely make it past wednesday, I'm proud of seeing 29...Rxe4 (had to pin that rook) *and* 30..Q2d (gotta push the pawns). I then spent time proving that the queen was safe. I was almost sure 31. ... |
