Let them have the a3 pawn. It will leave their knight out of play. If we can win the f3 pawn the game is over.

Resignation vote loses again by tiebreak so the game continues.

Our position is hopeless. The pawn structure changes associated with how our queens were traded made the endgame difficult.

Lets continue to suppress counterplay. White cannot defend f3, b4 and a2 forever.

I have not forgotten about the game but chose not to vote this move because I would have voted for resignation. I see no harm in letting the game continue until others agree out its outcome. I hope CryptoNote discussion will increase going forward but remain open to new chess related ideas for the thread.
