0-1 Well done Brian. Lost track off that threat after goodness knows how many times looking for it ;) I wanted to play 30.fxg2 for this very reason ...

Hope you don't mind me butting in.

I had a look at the position a couple of nights ago and I thought 31. Qe4+ Qe7 32. Be5 might be about equal.
The threat being a Rc7 - Rc8+ repetition - or getting the Knight to d5..

Not at all! I wished you had butted in a couple of nights ago! ;) Hadn't considered that line - thanks.

Thanks for the game Howard. I think that you had some good compensation for the exchange. Especially when it looked like my g-pawn was certain to drop and consequently my king would forever be stuck in the middle and sitting on open lines to boot!

The threat being a Rc7 - Rc8+ repetition - or getting the Knight to d5..Yes, I had a feeling that my 30...a6 was probably a dubious waste of time. I think you have correctly found the critical moment.
