Fritz asks in the game chat if TheMob would accept a resignation from him. My first response was that he should play it out, especially since we are still suggesting candidate moves that might still let him win. This still might be psychological warfare, but it seemed sincere.
What does TheMob say. Would we let him end his suffering?

I think it would look better for the future viewers if the game was played to its natural end. I think Omar for one, would like it better that way. Why not just play the next moves quickly and let's get this over with?

After fretting for 30 minutes, Fritz moves 39s Hg4w eg3n Hf4s Hf3x eg4w. What a loser.
We must make sure to move Rg2n. How about 40g Rg2n Cc2n Rc4n Cc3x Rc5n? I think it's a goal in one from there.

I also see goal in 1 with that 40g. Is it worth giving Clueless a chance to double check? Last move it was a huge help, but this time it looks pretty straight forward.
I would think Fritz would be willing to take one more move to finish the game by goal. Though maybe I'm underestimating the psychological toll of working on a game for almost 2 years without talking to anyone about it. I know the regular 1day/turn postal games can be a bit tough on me.

I am happy I don't have to change that. And I agree with cat sacrifice and Rg3 and c6.
BTW: Did Fritz write anythink about our previous move? Has he expected it?
