    From Thread 122902

    Our 48. ... Re1 was met by 49.Rh2.

    Here is the position:



    Here is the complete game:



    Our original idea was 49. ... Re2 here (50.Rh1 Re1). This guarantees us at least a draw. "Well the game is looking to be a draw not much i can do here so 49.Rh2" is a quote from PAWNRIOT's message.

    This time maybe we should give a double vote.

    Vote 1: The Move

    Vote 2: Offer Draw

    ...

    Her are my votes.

    Re2 and offer a draw.

    Pawnriot is a pretty strong player and is not going to accidently blunder and lose.

    49...Re2 - no draw - if 50 Rh1 I'll have to consider 50...h2 - but I'm sure you've done that...

    Actually that wasn't so far over my head. So simple and I just wasn't seeing it. I think you tend to see more when you're already engrossed in the game. At least I do.

    Yep, one of the best techniques i know is when you can't think of a move ,even a game you are engrossed in, just play through the moves. Sometimes you can 'feel' the way the game is flowing and a move will become apparent.

    Or maybe im just a loser who thinks he has a special bond with chess.

    Actually, I can relate to that. I understand more from playing through a whole game in a book than I do just by looking at a diagram of the position to move. I tend to understand everything that is happening by watching it develop one move at a time. Solutions to problems come faster for me that way too.
