I was going to say Black's pieces are stuck, but he has a pawn he can now push.

It'll hit fifty moves at 166 at the moment, so this could go beyond Arkell-Salimbeni...

Dramatic moment: White's won a pawn! After exchanging the bishops, e5 or f4 will be hanging depending on what black recaptures the first Knight with!

In some ways this game reminds me on the recent Vachier Legrave - Carlsen game

Bet Gawain's pleased to see the end of that f pawn

Now White is clearly better, because he has the passed pawn and no weaknesses and if the queens come off the pawn endgame is White's. Potentially, this could go past 200, queen endgames being notorious.

Two epic games in consecutive nights, this one may well decide where the British Championship goes!

I guess Jones won't be in great shape for the playoffs though (assuming he wins this of course!)

Why didn't Black capture on d4 with the c-pawn? (Wonder when the hall is locked up

)

Andrew Stone · Post by **Andrew Stone** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 9:54 pm

nxd7 qxe5+

Nxd7 then Qxe5 and f4 drops too (I think)

Paul McKeown · Post by **Paul McKeown** » Fri Aug 05, 2011 9:55 pm

Thinking about it, why did White not simply swap queen's with 126. Qxd7+? Wouldn't that have been a winning pawn endgame?
