Any stings white could have done to reverse this? I know he should have seen the loss of the bishop at move #12 or rook early one and I don't know why he let me have the rook later on, oversights?
29 .... Qc1 so if he took my rook, he would have lost his queen to Qd1+
But Qc1 also threatened check at e3, covered by my knight so he was in real trouble at that point so he chose to take the knight with queen rather than let me have that e3 check.

It really does look like white could somehow promote a pawn at the end there. It's really hard to see how though. I really wish the site allowed you to open an analysis board from a forum post!
I have played Ellis at least ten times and only now am one game up, we have split win/loss and only one draw but I pulled ahead by one as of now. New game going on as we speak though.
He certainly is a scrapper! must say, he does not give up unless there is no hope! He came close to getting a pawn rammed through but I think he lost it when he gave away the rook.

BTW, russ just PM'd me again, saying he just added that feature a few minutes ago🙂 So this is the very first use of it and I can see it works as advertised!
