When you can't spot the sucker at the table.

<h2>When I started this match, I was hoping somebody would get really involved and passionate about the outcome. 
When I sat bolt up-right at 4 this morning, thinking about the game, I realised it was me.</h2>

**I have to be very disciplined now, and go put up Christmas lights around our house, instead of checking this post every few minutes for the next couple of hours. 
I was a little 'done' with Christmas until I had kids...
I'm still sick of it; but now its a lot harder to avoid.**

g8->g7,  forcing capture of black's queen. White can delay by advancing pawn to check king, but knight x pawn, pawn x pawn, king x pawn,  w knight threatens check, king returns to d6, and white has no good follow up (white knight can't move to g5 to threaten king/queen fork because of pawn at h6).

I agree.1 less pawn against the king and space.

$0.04

Another option is black knight captures supporting pawn (c6->d4, check): following this sequence is more difficult, but I think it works though (because it kills pawn that would provide support to allow white to advance his pawn to check black king). This looks best, followed by g8->g7 after white king moves out of check.

there is possibility that he activates rook or knights, but I don't see, he will have time enough though. good move.

Yes, in every variation I've worked through involving threats with a1 rook or g1 knight, he's one move short. Plus moving our knight gives our king a little more breathing room in case of something unanticipated.

Heh, with this much money on the line, I think everyone on the leaderboard is passionate at this point. Plus it would suck to lose after being so far ahead in material.
