18...Bb5! 19.g4?! Qc7 20.Nd3 Rfc8 21.Rd2 Bxd3?!(Rb6) 22.Qxd3 Rb6 23.h5 Rc6 24.g5 Rc4 25.Rf1 Re4 26.Re2 Rxe2 27.Qxe2 a4 28.Qd3 g6 29.h6 Kf8!? 30.Qd2 Qc4 31.Rf3 Qe4
32.Qd1 Rc4 33.b3 Rd4 34.Rd3 Rxd3 35.cxd3 Qxf4
36.bxa4 Qxe5 37.a5 Qxg5 38.Qa4 There may have been some practical chances to get a draw here, but with so little time there is not much hope really. As it happens I think the position is lost anyway.
38...Qg1+ 39.Kc2 Qc5+ 40.Kb1 Qg1+ 41.Kc2 Qf2+ 42.Kb1 Qe1+ 43.Kc2 Qe2+ 44.Kc1 Qe1+ 45.Kc2 Qc3+ 46.Kd1 Qxd3+ 47.Ke1 Qe3+ 48.Kf1 Qf3+ 49.Ke1 Qe3+ 50.Kd1 Qd3+ 51.Kc1 Qa6 52.Qxb4+ Ke8 53.Qb8+ Kd7 54.Qb4 Qc4+ 55.Qxc4 dxc4 And I soon resigned. 0-1
The last round win for Joe was a bit tougher than he might have hoped for. Ryan,J - Keogh,E [D25]
