Lucky Bastard! - Grandpatzer Smith
Whites last try is 47.b5, Now at the time my thoughts were focused on my bladder, I had 20 minutes on the clock, but the toilets were a good 10 minutes away, I knew I was winning and just had to 'hold on' I partly attribute this to my blunder!
1.b5
The simple 47...a6 or any King move wins, but for some inexplicable reason I played
1...cxb5??
As soon as I'd played it I realized to my horror that
2.a6!
is a forced win for white.
2...bxa6
3.Kxd5
Kg4
4.c6
Kxh4
5.c7
Kxg5
6.c8Q
Although I've 5 pawns they are too far away from promoting to be of any use. 1-0
