OK, Managed to get the Missus to play a move

After Qd3+

The SD reply is Kf4

Currently working on the reply to the conditional move from the BLP of

Qxe4

Struggling through regards

Glad to hear it Steve!

Unsurprisingly the Sd recaptures, Kxe4. Though I always like to let it run in case it stores something in the hash for later!

I'm on my pda so no fen I'm afraid.

Normal service from tomorrow regards

Hi,

On this position palm hiarcs plays 54.Kf4 and shows the following line:54..Qxe4+ 55.Kxe4 Kf8 56.Kf4 Ke7 Ke5 and it shows -4.32
Maybe is not a draw anymore

Best
Ricardo

the current position after 55.Kxe4

[fen]6k1/8/4P3/1p5p/p1p1K3/P1P5/1P6/8 w - - 0 1[/fen]

score +9.99 for black(45 minutes..23 ply)

lets get that kid you played last night in here to try to salvage this regards

Hi Steve, Ricardo, Paul....and others
54.Kf4 Qxf4+
55.Kxe4 Kf8

score 6.21 for black. Depth 17/29
Giving black the outside passer was a mistake.

Hi again, I see I made a typo in my moves.
It should read:
54.......Qxe4+
55.Kxe4 Kf8
apologies
Larry
PS the typo gave an impossible move

Boo!

Can't play a move until I'm back from work tonight. It will be interesting to see the SD's score once I'm back. Getting the Missus to read the display correctly after making the moves remotely was

a stretch too far regards

In this position palm hiarcs plays 56.Kf4 Ke7 57.Kf5 h4 58.Kf4 and if black plays with no mistakes it will win.

Ricardo

P.S:do not worry about loosing a game no matter against who it is. The most important thing is why you loose.

The SD is pretty blind to the fact it's about to lose horribly! Score is only just over -2!!

The SD can resign on its own accord so for the moment lets play a few more moves.......

Defeat is looming regards
