Move 31

paulunderwood · 2015-10-19, 18:08

Here is what I think:

31. Qh3+ Kg7
32. Qh7+ Kf8
33. Be6 and we have two mating positions for our Queen, which i think Black can not get out of :smile:

Further:

31. Qh3+ Kg7
32. Qh7+ Kf8
33. Be6 Ke8
34. Qg8+ Qf8
35. Qxf8 Kxf8
36. Ra8 Rxa8
37. pxa8+ (promoted to a Queen!) Kg7
38. Qg8+ Kf6
39. b3

Queen from d3 to h3.

I looked at them moving Qf4 last move and it led to mate, so that's why I thought they wouldn't play it. Here is how I think it will go:

31. Qh3+ Kg7
32. Qh7+ Kf8
33. Be6 Bxf2+
34. Kh1 Ke8
35. Qg8+ Qf8
36. Ra8 Kd8
37. Qxf8+ Kc7
38. Qc8+ Rxc8
39. bxc8=Q+ Kb6
40. Qc6 mate

They will resign soon.

Your thoughts or move preference, David? :smile:

Qh3+

Wouldn't surprise me if a computer could find a forced mate soon.

We just have to keep playing carefully, even if this drags on for another ten moves.
