PAWN RIOT VS The Forum Move 48

From Thread 122329

Our 47. ... Nf4 was met by 48.Nxa7.

I agree. I think we need to force a draw.

48. ... Re1

I havnt been playing up to this point, but I agree that Re1 is best

Well, now it's a draw. I'm glad, because I think he had a win after Ka5. I vote we play Re1 and offer a draw.

If we trade rooks, we have a win (just push the pawn).

[FEN "8/N4p1k/6p1/6P1/PKP2n2/5P1p/8/4r2R w - - 0 1 "]
1. Rxe1 Nd3+ 2. Ka5 Nxe1 3. c5 h2 4. c6 h1=Q 5. c7 Qg1 6. c8=Q Qxa7+ [/pgn]
This would require a bit of work to win, but we could certainly win it.

Qf1+

Edit - not sure about this, let me analyze a bit more

I need to find a line against Kb6

Oh yes, 7. Kb7 Qxf3+ is kind a annoying 😛, does something similar work for Rxe2?

We win easily after Rxe2 because of 1....Nxe2 2.c5 h2 3.c6 Nf4 (c7 loses to Nd5+)

what happens if he decline our offer ?

I'd think the Re1 would result in a win or draw, at the least by repetition. In an exchange of rooks, we win.

I like Re1.

I vote 48...Re1

I vote to move but NOT to offer a draw if there is a separate vote for whether or not to offer one.

We could offer a draw if everyone is in agreement but why not just see if he repeats (and give him a chance to blunder).
