Wow, I really screwed up, why did I think you'd move your king to c6 ? Thats what I get for making moves at two in the morning . I think I can still pull off at least a draw though...

And I think I will win. It will take some time, but it should be possible.

And I think I will win. It will take some time, but it should be possible.

Only time will tell, in the meantime I'm going to play alot more carefully

I'm more than a bit uncertain about the exact best way to proceed here, endgames are not my specialty. I hope the extra tempi (tempos?) you get fom having the bishop are not enough to win.

21. Re2 Bf5

1 - Endgames are difficult, but I like to play them.

2 - Thanks for the diagram, I don't have a chess program on my computer. Therefore a diagram every 10 - 15 moves is much appreciated.

You do all the moves in your head?

27. Kd3 Kf5
28. Kc4 Be7

No, I use a chess board. But I only have one. So if I play two of more games at the some moment I regularly have to replay the whole game to get the actual postion on my board. If there is occasionally a diagram then I have to replay fewer moves.

Oh ok, I would give you a diagram each move but its a bit of a nuscence (screenshot, cut board out of screenshot, upload to website, link to Fanatics). However I don't mind doing it every five moves or so, I like to make sure I have the right position anyway.
