Your New Years Game (A Cracker)

Only Chess


Played on December 31st at Hastings.
A very nice way to play your last game of 2011.
A real toe to toe slugfest.

Skip to move 30 and then single step each move.
White is winning, no Black is winning, No it's White..It's Black...wait a minute....

Interesting game - please humour a question from a novice 🙂

Why did black not play Qe2 on move 34? Was it something to do with the white pawn lurking near the final rank?

EDIT: Disregard question, it's mate in one unless white is put in check in next move.
