{Comments by Jasan Barnett: Before this game, Caitlin had never drawn with or
defeated Cassandra in classical tournament play of any sort (tournament or
friendly games). The closest she came was a game where it was king and pawn v
king and Caitlin was not able to stop the promotion.} 1.d4 e6 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nc3

25.Rxe4 {That black knight was giving me the biggest 'headache' of the game. A
rook is worth a pawn and well posted knight and pawn any day (in my opinion,
that is). (C.B. [as white])} dxe4 26.Qxe4 Qe6 27.Qc2 fxe5 28.dxe5 Rad8 29.Bd4

36.Ra5 Ra8 37.b5? {I got confused on how to properly offer a draw. I had
really meant to play Rc5. Otherwise it was a very good game. Hats off to my
sister : ) (C.B. [as white]). I feel that Caitlin has a good chance to win the
game after 37...axb5; 38.Rxa8, Rxa8;39.axb5, cxb5 winning a strong passed
b-pawn.Moreover, black's king is very powerful in the centre, whereas white
has a weak double-pawn. Longterm, I cannot imagine that white can prevent the
b-pawn promoting to a queen, unless she sacrifices her bishop. Otherwise, a
nice and balanced game.(BvR)} {#d} 1/2-1/2
½-½
