jda Aug 2022 5:54pm, 17 Aug 2022 13,201 posts	0 jda Goofee won that game! Amazing! Just half a point needed now for a great draw or a full point for a famous victory! I think I have a chance of something in my remaining game, but it's far from secure.
Goofee Aug 2022 7:20pm, 17 Aug 2022 4,249 posts	0 Goofee Thank you! I was very surprised when he took the pawn to allow me back in, even more so when he resigned a couple of moves later! Our other game is a bit wild, could go either way at the moment.
jda Aug 2022 7:33pm, 17 Aug 2022 13,204 posts	0 jda I’ve been watching all the games for a bit as I could see we might be close overall. I didn’t expect you to escape with much in that game after getting your B so neatly trapped! I finished off my white game quite strongly recently (ending with a N mate which was fun) but the black pieces is proving tougher. No comment on the other games still in play
Goofee Aug 2022 7:40pm, 17 Aug 2022 4,250 posts	0 Goofee I decided that as the Bishop was basically useless trapped in there, I had to sacrifice it in order to relieve some of the pressure on my King - I did actually work through the entire line that happened but didn't think he'd take actually the pawn at the point he did - very pleasing!
jda Aug 2022 8:23pm, 17 Aug 2022 13,205 posts	0 jda Yeah that looked a good plan in the circumstances. I was amused by the bishop trap as I recently did the same thing twice in a row against a local club mate!
