and my best move of the day

too easy for today's engines, even Palms - but for this carbon brain, I was
quite please tos ee that the engines back this up as "best" move in this
position.
The rest of the game was uneventful except for the fact that I was trying to
force trades, and he was trying not to trade, even if there were better moves
available. We both knew once we tradedpieces, the win would be much easier for
me. I was essentialy able to keep his pieces "hemmed in" unless he was willing
to trade. Finally I could push my center pawn thrust with absolutely no threat
to my King. I finally did let him check me with 43. ...Qc2+, which was simply a
bad check.
