Qd5 h5 { Another ten or so moves were played after the ones given here - we'd both stopped recording by the end - before Derek kindly accepted a draw offer and thus prevented me from losing on time (I was down to about 30 secs and he had a good bit more). Pretty sure he was winning courtesy of his a-and b-pawns in the Q+Ps ending when we shook hands, although my own passed pawn had just moved to d5 and was looking tricky to stop without conceding a perpetual, as his Q was on a2 and his K was on g5 at the end. One of those games where I probably should have won earlier but was then lucky to escape with a draw - I've had a few of those this season. } 1/2-1/2
