if 59. cxb5 then 59 .... c4+

[Desmond]

I resign. Well played.

I forgot you could do that only considered taking on c4. I underestimated ...Qb4 much earlier, I didn't think you had anything there.

[Sunshine]

Thanks Boris.

An unfortunate result - a draw would have been fair.

Unlucky - White can almost save the pawn ending by creating a passed pawn on the kingside with f4, but with correct play (as in Sunshine's conditional ...c4+) then Black's pawns are just too fast for that to work.

Absolutely - I was only hoping for a draw up to move 55. and then after that there was only a couple of winning chances.

These two endings have consumed more time than you could ever imagine !

It will be good to clear my thoughts when they are over.
