I would like to get an iPhone sometime, a lot of cool apps. } 27. Bd3 Qd6 { Archr: I have heard that Google's Droid is nice, too. I don't NEED one of them; but I could enjoy one--either one. } { Chessic: Yes, I have read that the iPhone and Droid are both good. I am going to get an iPod Touch from work soon, which should be fun. } 28. Bc4 Bxc4 29. Qxc4 Re7 30. Rxe7 Qxe7 31. Qxc6+ Qc7 32. Qxc7+ Kxc7 33. Kc2 Kd6 34. Kc3 Kc6 35. Kc4 a6 36. d5+ Kd7 37. Kd4 Kd6 { Chessic: Darn it! It can be quite annoying playing people who have studied endgame! :-) Good job, clearly you understand endgame theory. I am not yet sure if there is a way to win this position. } { Archr: You nearly were able to convert that extra pawn for sure. I hope to hold the draw. } 38. a4 { Chessic: Endgame is my favorite part, but I am having a hard time calculating the best moves ... will be interesting to analyze later to see if I blew a win somewhere. } 38... h6 39. b4 g5 40. fxg5 hxg5 41. h3 { Chessic: Excellent game, this is fun! } 41... f4 { Archr: We are testing our endgame memory, for sure. :) } 42. gxf4 { Chessic: Yes we are! Kings + pawns, opposition, etc, etc. } 42... gxf4 { Archr: We will be studying this interesting game when it ends. } 43. Ke4 { Chessic: Yes, definitely, sounds good. I think I have winning chances, but tough to calculate the best moves accurately... } 43... f3 { Archr: Yes, I think you do win from here. } 44. Kxf3 { Chessic: Still plenty of room for me to err though ... } 44... Kxd5 { Archr: Just a little, not much. } 45. h4 { Archr: That makes you the winner of the mini-tournament. Congratulations. } { Chessic: Thanks for the great game. That is correct on the analysis of the end. Not the tournament winner yet, but hopefully will win. } { Game Over: When I capture your h, you can take mine and queen your a or b. Well done. } 1-0
