Move 48

paulunderwood · 2014-10-04, 10:32

One line of play might be:

48...Nc5 (a fork)
49.Rb6 Bd2
50.Ke2 Bb4
51.Bc2 Ne6

Yes, I agree with this.
The other move order, 48...Bd2 looks absolutely hopeless to me: 49.Ke2 Nc5 50.Ra7+ Kf6 51.Kxd2 Nxb3+ 52.Kc3 Nc5 53.Rxa5 and we can safely resign.

48...Nc5 looks like the only reasonable move to me.

I thought I posted here a while back. Apparently not.
I agree with the choice of Nc5.

I too agree with Nc5. Here's another line:

48. ... Nc5
49. Ra7+ Kf8
50. Bc2 Bd2
51. Ke2 Bc3
52. Rc7 Bd4

and we still have life....

That's agreement then. Does anyone have more to add or require more time? I for one am happy to play the move already.

I happy with moving now. David? Rich? :smile:

richs · 2014-10-08, 13:47
