Although Fritz didn't like this move, the Black Team felt that this was a
wonderful move.The bishop dominates the board! The development of blacks other
forces was a bit of a worry for the Black Team. Would white be able to take
advantage....
A tactical trick by black that white openly admitted to missing.
White expected black to castle queen side.
The White Team launches an all-out assault on the Black King!!

Qd3(for black) was as a common theme suggested by Fritz.
The Black Team never seriously even considered this alternative.

Twice the time on the clocks was increased by mutual consent. Nobody wanted to rush the conclusion of the game. The end of a wonderful game that was thoroughly enjoyed by all :-)
