you are the Belgian Fide player?
Bolzoni, Victor-Angel (BEL)?

I play 30.h4. It has the aim of h5, and also defends the bishop in case the rook needs to go to another file.
Begins to look more interesting. I think I'd just develop with Re8, but after h5 and such, black can fall into some tactics that might be too deep... So suddenly it is becoming interesting to watch...

Go Larry!
I'm not feeling optimistic. The threat of h5 isn't that great, Black is very flexible here. The Connie needs to play very passively to get into any real trouble.
White is in a heap due to King Weakness, regardless of being a QR down.
The Connie will likely play 30..Re8., but 30..d3!! can create all kinds of havoc for White. Maybe it may consider the passive 30..c6....? No, not too optimistic at all. Still, the Connie has a narrow search, we'll see.

Terry,
I think you are being too pessimistic. All you can see is that black has a good game and white is in trouble. You have said this after every move it seems - and you also keep noticing that whatever white plays can be answered by black. (Previously you said that Larry's move was "unsound", etc.)
But this is a rook odds game and OF COURSE every move Larry makes can be easily answered. It takes very little skill to find good moves for the side that is easily winning or to surmise that black has a good game and it's even a bit annoying.
Bob Hyatt had the right idea. The move h4 was a good one not because it is objectively winning (it loses like every other move Larry has) but it's a good move against a shallow thinking opponent - it gives Larry chances to hope for a blunder or miscalculation which is what odds play is all about.
megabase?
