Qf4 Qxc3 28. Bf6+ Rxf6 { Tanis: Fiesty, mate, if it is not imposing, since I have a USCF rating that would be close to FIDE CM, what is your real name and FIDE since here you are very strong. } 29. Qxf6+ Rg7 30. Bh5 { Fiesty 50: Hi, No problem. My name is Michael Blake and I don't think I am particularly strong at chess, I don't have a FIDE grade but my OTB club play would put me around 2000 (or slightly lower) which is similar to my ICCF elo of 2031. I have read that a CC grade can typically be 500 points higher than your OTB grade but that isn't my experience at the moment. Disappointingly my CC grade has remained little unchanged for many years but I hope to change that in the future. In last years British Championship I came last and failed to win a single game so am not that strong a player although I know that I lost games to computer engines :-) } 30... Qxc2 31. Rae1 Qc3 32.
