In the game above, played from round 1 of the finals between Juan Grande and myself, I had miscued and Juan fought back with a brilliant strategy.
I overexposed the King and Juan's Archbishop + minor were better than my cramped Queen and Rook.
At this point in the game, with White to move, I found a long sequence that forced a draw. When Juan played 38. h7+ next, I was able to announce a win.
The first person to show the entire line of the correct play for white to move and draw will win a FREE Gothic Chess stainless steel mug.
