Kc2 Rxf6 $6 {it was played on the off-chance Darshan was going to do a premove ie make an automatic move reply to my move such as 44.Rh8 as it looks like i cant avoid mate but if he makes that move now i get a remarkable swindle with Kxg7 draw. The game was played online.} 44. gxf6 {so its looking bad for me with me not able to win the match now and needing 3 straight wins to tie the match. The score is 6 - 3 to Darshan.} 1-0 [Event "Grand Prix 2019 (match 3) 60 10"] [Site "?"] [Date "2020.01.30"] [Round "10"] [White "Llewellyn, Alan Mansel"] [Black "Darshan"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "A11"] [WhiteElo "1436"] [BlackElo "1265"] [Annotator "Llewellyn,Alan"] [PlyCount "112"] [EventDate "2019.??.??"] 1. c4 c6 2.
