26.Kc1

I guess your next move won't be unanimous.

2.52 on my 30k. It didn't feel great, but ok.

Certainly we investigated other moves, but, the Team unanimously voted:

26...d5

To me, 2.52 for a 30k run at age 52 is very good. I'm in my 60s, but, even in my early 50s, I'm not sure I could have even walked 30k.

27.Rc3

It's greening faster then usual here in the north of Sweden. I have to do the lawn, about two weeks earlier then normal. Something is going on with the climate.

Well, Tony, Rc3 was a good move!

27...d4

Do the lawn? Here in southern Arizona, USA, we do not see very many lawns.

Hi Tony,

I think that after the game, it would be interesting to discuss what you think of some of the lines resulting from 27.exd5. I mention it now to prompt a signal that this may be a particularly interesting position to discuss.

28.Rc6

I will take a leave 29/5-7/6. To run in Stockholm, and visit my sister in Arboga, one of the oldest cities in Sweden.

Tony...Have a safe trip, a very fast run, and a pleasant visit with your sister.

James

29.Kc2

It seem to get hot again in Stockholm. The last two years it have been 27° C. I dislike that very much. I had 3.58 last year, one of my worst ever.

We will start your clock on 8 June. If your going to be late please let us know.

I see a 3:56:08 for you from Stockholm today, improving from last year. Congratulations!

Thank you, but it's a poor time. But it was 24 C, and I just can't take the heat. Now I'm looking forward to Arctic Circle Marathon in four weeks. It's just one hour drive from Luleå, so it feels like home.

Yes, I have trouble with those temperatures, too, so I definitely understand. My racing times get considerably worse as the temperature gets warmer from about 10 C. Arctic Circle Marathon should be good for you.

30.Bxc6

Why didn't you suggest a conditional? There is no other move playable.
