.....I should say if you make the move that allows a forced draw.Then I will have a big decision.

I was talking about the little danger of 31 Bxf3+ ... But you took care of it.
I don’t see no forced draw and would prefer to defend my title with style (a victory that is) if I can.

[Smash]

I will come back to the forced draw later.

Oh yes.In the heat of battle,I'd forgotten about your impressive winning streak.I'm sure you would like to keep that intact.In that ambition lies my best chance

Yes, my ambition has always been one of my weaknesses. But I begin to like my position and don’t see no overwhelming danger. Let’s play and let’s see.
For the draw, it was after 31 ... Bc6, right (I’ve looked at it again) ? I only saw you would get a new queen by promotion and didn’t lookmuch further, but true enough that by putting my rooks on the second row, I could have forced a draw, or even mate if you want a new queen immediatly. Not that I wanted to do draw anyway and not that you would allow to be mated in one move.

[Julius Brenzaida]

Funny enough, I can still play 32 ... Bc6, and if you play 33 dxc6 it’s a draw, but if you want to try to win with 33 Rfb1 Bxf3+, 34 Kg2 axb5, 35 Bxb5 Rxb5!, 36 Rxb5 Rg2+, 37 Kh1, it’s still a draw, unless I can set a mating net. But I won’t look for it now, as you have the draw with the other variation for sure. It’s just for the sake of analysing.

[Smash]

Yes that was what I looked at.31...Bc6 32.bxc6 Rxb2 33 c7 Rgg2 then either Re1 or Rc1.Doesn't really matter.Then black is well advised to take the perpetual.

[Julius Brenzaida]

Well, you play fast indeed
Maybe that all my moves are expected
I am at work and won't post blindfold
Expect an answer this evening or tomorrow morning, European time

Yes the draw was unavoidable for black in the 31 Bc6 variation, because being a queen down is not very advantageous

[Smash]

hehehe..lets just say not unexpected.I started looking at your last move this morning at 1:30>2 am local time.Posted my move at around 5am my time.
Then I got up

So your king is out of the corner, at last !
And I’ve taken back my “Benko” pawn.
