It would seem that 39.g5+ was not the best move and that better would have been 39.Qh7 after which it's clearly curtains for Fritz. White has the luxury of not being able to be checked by the Black Queen, even though quite exposed. The g pawn is a shield against the Black Rook but this pawn was lost when I followed the line that I did.Saturday 23 December 2017
CHESS: A BUMBLED DRAW
I played a game at club level against Fritz Online and remembered that one needed a premium account to export files in PGN format. So I took a screenshot of the PGN displayed on Fritz Online and tried unsuccessfully to use OneNote and Google Docs to convert the image to text. Apparently it can be done but it defeated me. I turned to Google Keep and fortunately it was a very straightforward process. So I pasted the text into ChessX and things worked fine, so now I'm pasting the game into this blog. It's a game I should have won I'm sure but in the end was lucky not to lose, having overlooked a pin to my Queen from Fritz's Rook.
