and he doesn`t take the bishop because?

he doesnt take the bishop becos Qd4 mate .. but he could take the rook ...

woops - i messed up ....

i do not know ... why did he resign ?

i bet it starts with Qd4

Yeah definately Qd4 ... king has to go down as up leads to Qb4 mate. Next move would probably bring the rook across +. And from there it leads to ugliness... Will ask him when he moves in our game...

29. Rxc3 Qd4+ 30. Kb3 Rb8+ 31. Qb6 Rxb6 32. axb6 Qb4+ 33. Kc2 Qxb6 (ofcourse ... Qa4+ 34. Rb3 Qxa6 leads to a draw, but that's not very difficult to see).
I spent several hours analyzing this position, but it is completely lost. Therefore I resigned.
Very well played by awrightus. I wish him good luck in the next round.

Your a good player im shocked

Your a good player im shocked

Thanks for the insight, nico.

Thank you for explaning that, Nico.

Only one remark / question.
A 2200+ player told me that high ranked players also can make mistakes or have a bad day and missing moves, so why not play on untill after the possible draw move?

Who knows, he might not have seen it and you had a draw or more ....
(Just my thoughts.)

Group 23 is the first to be totally finished.

While it didn't really have a bearing upon the result (which was decided weeks ago), I must say I'm personally very pleased that I succeeded in punching above my weight - ranked 5th but finished 3rd.
