My position is deteriorating steadily since 24...Be3.
You know, I thought you would play 24. Kh1 and played 24...Be3 without thinking or even looking at your move (I saw K and 1 and assumed h instead of f)
Only after your next move 25. Bf4, which would have been 25. Bf4 ?? had you moved 24. Kh1 did I see what your move truly was. But at that moment, it was already too late.

Never mind now, I still have some defensive potential left, I hope

Sorry, I was up to post a few days ago, but then got distracted by a PM. Only now realized, that I hadn't posted then.

I don't consider your position to be so bad as you make it. It has no big weaknesses, at least not more than mine.

[Harovan]

Bump. So what will we do with this game? Call it a draw?

[Ljube]

I am sorry for the delay in my reply, Sir Ralph. I didn't even notice our thread, because I was rarely online during the last month.

Thanks for your offer to call the game a draw. Apparently, our tournament has fallen appart, probably because of real life obligations of the participants. I accept your offer and we declare this game a draw officially. I suggest we proclaim you, Sir Ralph, winner of our tournament.
