If I'm hosting and running this match, why do I suddenly feel like a passenger?

<center>[Original on Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_a8Pcd8k9s)</center>

<h2>I only just realised the seriousness of my Queen's circumstances. For this move at least, my game is on rails. 
I can't see any way I'm going to keep her, but I'm hoping she takes some company to Valhalla.</h2>

<center>http://imgur.com/DZcdope.jpg</center>

The steemit changes are certainly interesting. I'm getting plenty of upvotes, but the little eye shows only a handful of views. 
Perhaps I'm being auto-upvoted by followers, or bots have started relying on these healthy payouts. Either way, I really like the changes. **They make the site look much more polished**

<center>http://imgur.com/i9JhUL9.gif</center>

There's been some talk about spreading the reward around a little, dividing it up based on total upvotes. 
I'm completely open to this, and will probably do so if I run another match. 
I'll stick to the current winner-takes-all approach for this game, to remain consistent; but I would encourage those who likes the idea, to publicly commit themselves to it. 
If, at the end of the match, black wins, and the player at the top of the board has previously undertaken to spread the wealth, then I'm happy to do so on his behalf. 
<h3>**Again, this will be all of the steem in my wallet at the time, from all sources.**</h3>

d7-d6, escaping check, preparing to kill queen next (all pieces are protected and queen has no where to run, guess we're going to lose a rook for her though :-).

This is the best move, next we attack the queen with the rook. Just like Blocktrade said, his only choice is to trade a Queen with our  Rook.

f8-e7 also works, and but I'd prefer to keep line open for queen to attack later

scratch that, it doesn't work, because the rook can't move from g8-g7 (loses bishop's protection). I had worked that out before, but forgot. These animating gifs are cool, but they do make analyzing the board a bit distracting, maybe you can set them to repeat like 5 times or so, then stop?

I've found that too, and usually do my pondering looking at the board. 
Maybe a separate, still image at the end of the post would be best.

Queen has 8th rank to start attack, I think rook going 2nd rank and Queen following would be good move forward, white queen is stack on black side alone.

We've got his queen. His best possibility at this point is to trade his queen for our rook. Queen can't flee, and our next move (move rook to g7) threatens his queen with no escape (that's why he posted the animated gif about the rat caught in the trap). If it wasn't for that, your move would be the next best.

this would allow his queen to escape, because we couldn't move to rook to g7 (bishop in current position supports it).
