Yes good game, I like the 32nd,33rd and 34th moves from Ken. Not your day Roy. | |

Nice game you two. Ken, you played the best game against Roy in the Homan so far.David--Phil--Steve had more difficult positions and Roy had good chances against us all.Despite being jumped up Dunleavy players it was a game worthy of the Homan.. | |

Yes e6, that's sweet. Well spotted. | |

Ken, Black is then in trouble after White plays e6 and follows it up with Rd7. I may be wrong, but I think the best outcome for Black is to end up with 5 pawns against a knight and 3 pawns - with White winning because the Black king cant be on both sides of the board at once. | |

Unclear how your 39 move suggestion works, Phil. All I see is: 39. Rxf5 exf5 40. Rxd4 fxg4. What am I missing? | |

Well played Ken. Your early advantage was down to speedier development. Look at the position after 9 moves - White has developed 3 minor pieces and castled, Black has developed 0 minor pieces and not castled. 39. Rxf5 would have won you a piece - note, not Bxf5, as that would have allowed 39. … Rd1+ Shredder’s analysis is below. Not much black on the histogram, it has to be said. | |

I felt confident throughout the match. I made the better start and felt I managed to maintain momentum for much of the match. As it turns I continually got in great ipositions without capitalising on them. Most particularly on move 35 by not advancing checking with the g pawn. Had I done that the black knight falls and I have all kinds of threats. By not doing so, Roy became at least equal and probably better, albeit marginally. Oddly enough though, having finally got back to equality, Roy then missed the knight fork check which decided the outcome. All in all a tough game. One that, at the time, I felt very pleased with. Reviewing it now though, I realise I wasn't nearly as clever as I thought I'd been. Indeed, come the end I got lucky. | |
