You knight needs to be at C3 I believe.

Also, my move is...

14...Bg7

you're right about my knight.




Be3, so to this point we have. . .

15...d5

 

[babe]

15...d5

I'm taking a long look at this. . . .

I'd thought you would advance that pawn, but I don't see what I need to fear about it. . . . .

so I will take that pawn on d5 with my pawn on e6.

exd5

looks like we reduce the game pretty quick here.

OK, I was hoping you'd get one more move in, but I'm now assuming you're at work. I'll be driving off now, too, but I'll do the pic as things stand.

18...Qf4+

 

[babe]

18...Qf4+

I didn't see that, I might not be able to recover here. Looks like I have to interpose my Queen, maybe come up a Bishop short.

Qd2

 

[LogGrad98]

19...Rxd4

 

[babe]

19...Rxd4

Qxf4

 

[LogGrad98]

20...Rxf4

 

[babe]

So I believe you've achieved a critical advantage here, and I have a bishop practically useless, too. Maybe a good time to paint the pic again. . . .

nevermind.

Nd5

this is practically another forced trade, not something I should be happy about when down a Bishop. . . .

well, the wonderful thing about all this, is, it doesn't look like this will last long. . . .

 

[LogGrad98]

21...Nxd5

 

[babe]

21...Nxd5

.

cxd5

I'm not in position to make much of this pass pawn, but I have to press the case for what it's worth. . .

cxd5

I'm not in position to make much of this pass pawn, but I have to press the case for what it's worth. . .

So, I have found philosophy is what grows outta BS, MS, and Ph.D masses of stinkinthinkin.

I can, for example, see clearly that I should not have lost my Bishop the way I did a few moves ago.

I really want to end this game, but it's contrary to my principles not to invoke the full extreme punishment for my stupidity. . . .

* So I have no defense, and no where to run, and you're going to pick up something with a discovered check while attacking a pawn or a bishop, or I have to move into a position where you can co-ordinate your two bishops in attacking my King, forcing me into my non-existent defense, where maybe. . . . .??????>>>>>>>>>>>...........you're going to be stupid enough to just let me move back and forth three times to achieve a stalemate????

No chance. After you get me into that pinch, you'll mobilize your other pieces and attack me fatally. I get it.
