29.d5 Re8 30.d6?? pushing one square too far, excited with finally pulling off the win that had been coming for so long.
This was a lightning game played at a little over midnight in the middle of a working week, Tereza was typing poorer than usual in our messages previously, while she had been playing 'standard' games against others - g15 and building up winnable leads against others - though throwing them away with horrendous slips - so even though wide awake and 'couldn't sleep' she was clearly 'out of form'.
the time limit was 2 minutes with increment of 12 seconds - at present Tereza had 3 mins 32 s and I had 57 secs [30.Kg1 was all that was needed] 30...Rh8+ 31.Kg1 Rhh2 32.Rfd1 Rhg2+ 33.Kf1 Rgf2+ 34.Kg1 Rg2+ 35.Kh1 Rh2+ 36.Kg1 Rhg2+ 37.Kh1 Rh2+ 38.Kg1 Rhg2+ 39.Kh1 Rh2+ 40.Kg1 Rhg2+ 41.Kf1 Rgf2+ 42.Kg1 Rg2+ 43.Kh1 Rh2+ even though I had built my time up to 1 min 54 and was fairly confident we had had our triple repeat I paused again (for 54 secs this time) just in case there was a win there - with the 'intention' of offering a draw if I ever established a win !! 44.Kg1 1/2-1/2
