How I swindled Arasan 5.01 in a blitz game (Athlon 1.2 GHz). In a Ruy Lopez as White, I played poorly and got into this worse position: [d] r3r1k1/1b3p1p/p2p1qp1/1ppP4/3bP1Q1/1P4NP/1P2RPP1/R1B3K1 w - - 0 21 Then I tried something desparate and it worked!: 22.Bg5 Qg7 23.Qh4!? Bxb2? 24.Rxb2! Qxb2 25.Bf6 Qd2 26.Ra2 [26.f4! wins easier but I missed it.] 26...Qd1+ [or 26...Qc1+ 27.Kh2 h5 28.f4 Kf8 29.Qg5 +-] 27.Kh2 h5 28.Qg5 Qd4 29.Bxd4 cxd4 30.Nxh5 Re5 31.Nf6+ Kg7 32.Qf4 Bc8 33.g4 d3 34.g5 d2 35.Rxd2 Bb7 36.Rc2 [36.Ng4! was better.] 36...Rf8 37.Nd7 [37.Rc7! Bc8 38.Qh4 Rh8? 39.Rxc8! mates but I missed it.] 37...Ree8 38.Nxf8 Rxf8 39.Rc7 Bc8 40.Qf6+ Kg8 41.Rxf7 Rxf7 42.Qxg6+ Kf8 43.Qxd6+ Kg8 44.f4 Bxh3 45.Kxh3 Rh7+ 46.Kg3 Rf7 47.g6 Rb7 48.f5 Kg7 49.e5 a5 50.Qf6+ Kg8 51.e6 a4 52.e7 Rxe7 53.Qxe7 a3 54.Qf7+ Kh8 55.Qf8#
