29. Kt takes P 29. Kt to K sq. (!)

(As pointed out above, if Black had made what seems to be the obvious

move, viz., to defend the R P with 29.... Kt to Kt sq., White would win

with 30. Q to Kt 3 and mate to follow at Kt 7 with the Queen.)

30. Q takes P: ch. 30. K to Kt sq.

31. Q to Kt 5: ch. 31. K to R 2

And the game is drawn by White giving "Perpetual check." That is the utmost

he can hope, being a piece _minus_. {362}
