Marijan's Move in "All of WNY is out to get Marijan!"

VS
It has been 11 months of our experiment in which we were playing two simultaneous correspondence games, one as white one as black, against the right good Reverend Marijan Procyk. Our moves have been the most popular choice of our readership. Each reader can nominate moves and can use any outside assistance to derive the move-except for the use of a computer engine. Meanwhile Marijan is not allowed to look at the comments. Rather he will email his moves, after I update these boards. Marijan has won the game in which we had tried a King's Indian Defense against a 4 pawn's attack. It's Marijan's move in the remaining Caro Kann variation game. As white we have gone 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Nd7 5. Bc4 Ngf6 6. Ng5 e6 7. Qe2 Nb6 8.Bb3 h6 9. N5f3 c5 10. dxc5 Nbd7 11.Be3 Nxc5 12. Bxc5 Qa5+ 13.Nd2 Bxc5 14. 0-0-0 0-0 15.Ngf3 Qc7 16.

  1. OK guys here was Marijan's last comment,
    "I thought I was supposed to lose this long time ago. Now I am inclined to believe it will be a draw."

  2. Draw offer. I certainly accept. (Finished before Easter?!)
    It was easy for me to make a mistake in this game, so I am glad it came to an end. It took pretty long.
    Thank you all for playing.
    Marijan
