You should win this one Martin, infact black has been lost from the start, but I will play on for a few more moves before resigning.

Do you have any idea how condescending you are?

No idea at all but if I really wanted to be condescending then I could have said that he should have played his last move two moves ago.

Oh, you do. I suggested to him Ke2 earlier, he didn't take my advice. I rarely say anything but now he has winning chances but you have a lot of play and if you're careful still have drawing prospects. I'm not sure why you avoided taking on b2 as it was a draw.

As I said earlier, you're headed to b1.

I agree that taking the pawn on b2 instead on move 48 would have drawn the game but you have already posted the correct answer to your question yourself:
Terry McCracken wrote: Why you failed to take the b-pawn is simple, you are going for repetition...
Martin seemed to be happy to play for a draw when he played Kf2 instead of Ke2 on move 47 so I thought that playing for repetition instead of taking the pawn on b2 would oblige him much more quickly.
Terry McCracken wrote: As I said earlier, you're headed to b1.
Yes and since Martin declined to repeat the position he can now play for a win again. He gave me a second chance to draw the McMad declined game so it seems only fair that I give him a second chance to win this one.
