[A_Bashkuev]

I think - not. You always have g6 answer & what after that???
Then I'd like to have another course of development - never like my possible passing pawn without support.

31. Rg1 Qd7
32. Rc3 Raf8
33. Rg3 Rc8
34. Rxc8 if 34. .. Qxc8 (do you have any other options?)
35. a4

Yesss! What's now?

[A_Bashkuev]

Don't sure if I've got your meaning - my course is "pure Queen" endspiel which is won for me - then I must to make exchange of Rooks in fourth line then I haven't any choice at all

31. Rg1 Qd7
32. Rc3 Raf8
33. Rg3 Rc8
34. Rxc8 Qxc8
35. a4 Qc5
36. Kg2 Rf4
37. Rg4 Rd4
38. Rxd4

Do you like to resign now? (My pawn in exchange variant will got onto eight line with a check & I will begin to hit you faster, but my King will get safe harbor under your d5 pawn; in check variant (from your Qc1 instead of Qc3) my King will be in time for stopping your d4 pawn.) Huh?

39. a5 if 39. .. Qc3 then 40. Qxc3 if after that 40. .. dxc3, then 41. a6

 

[Smash]

aha..I wanted to see if you played a5 or Kf1.Gotta study your technique

38. Rxd4 exd4
39. a5 Qc3
40. Qxc3 dxc3
41. a5 bxa6

 

[Smash]

that should be 41.a6 of course

 

[A_Bashkuev]

Oh, it's rather tricky business, but I'm sure that I've got my safe haven behind your d pawn in d line. But - let's go!

41. a6 bxa6
42. bxa6 if 42. .. c2 then
43. a7 if 43. .. c1Q then
44. a8Q+ Kf7 (only move)
45. Qa7+

P.S. Fell free to make any other move instead of 42. .. c2 or 43. .. c1Q

 

[Smash]

I was gonna play 42... Kf7 first but no matter as the position is the same.

41. a6 bxa6
42. bxa6 c2
43. a7 c1/Q
44. a8/Q+ Kf7
45. Qa7+ Kf8

 

[A_Bashkuev]

41. a6 bxa6
42. bxa6 c2
43. a7 c1/Q
44. a8/Q+ Kf7
45. Qa7+ Kf8
46. Qe3

Well, moment of truth now... Would you like to exchange damsels? (I think you not, but it's better - to be sure ).

 

[Smash]

Oh no.Not on that square anyway.

41. a6 bxa6
42. bxa6 c2
43. a7 c1/Q
44. a8/Q+ Kf7
45. Qa7+ Kf8
46. Qe3 Qc7


Better make sure we are looking at the same thing

 

[Panzar75]

Yep, that's the position I've got...

 

[A_Bashkuev]

Yep, It's correct position.

41. a6 bxa6

44. a8/Q+ Kf7
45. Qa7+ Kf8
46. Qe3 Qc7

[A_Bashkuev]

I've meant 47. Kg3 of course (stupid idea to name HIM as Rex in my mind .

 

[Smash]

You named your king Rex?...LOL.

[A_Bashkuev]

Pls, excuse me for so long silence. Some sort of rush holiday for firm expense – I was in Siberia making installation of our new equipment & this call was rather unexpected, but local hospitality was enough reward for our crew. Well, let’s return to our issue…
