Against Winston, you played 49. Qf6ch and after either interposition, 50. Bxg6 for free. Instead of Qb7, Winston should have played 48. Qg2ch, 49. Kxg2, Nxh4 with double check, 50. K anywhere, N returns to g6, safely retaining his 2 pawn advantage with Kg7 to follow. It's 20 years since I was rated in the high 1900s at chess, but Larry's been playing some online lately so from kibitzing him, some of my tactics have been revived.
I want to guess Bh7 in the last one, threatening either Bd3 or if Kd4, Bf5 and Bh3 to defend against promotion on f1, but I'm having trouble seeing how you can get all three black pawns off the board from that point, or how black can get yours, so it's not clear to me that one of you should not still win, or which one. And I'm too lazy to dig out a real board and work it out the cheater's way with moving pieces.
