Barring some mistake, I believe you win this one now. I made a mistake a few moves ago, and where I had once seen a certain victory required me to take my rook back down the h file to h2, preventing you from getting your bishop in the anchor position on the two line, and moving on behind my pawn to protect my b pawn and take an anchored position on the 4 line, thence advancing my pawn. . . .
I'll look again later, but I think you win all possible developments from here.
So sorry about the delay again, I'm squeezing this in between drives. I don't mean to punish you with inordinate stubbornness as a diehard, but my move now is Kg3
So, here is the updated move list:
.
1. e4, c5
2. Nf3,d6
3. h3, a6
4. b3, Nc6
5. d4, cxd4
6. Nxd4, Qa5+

Well, if I had gone the other way this move would not have happened. . . . .I've looked at things here several times, and haven't found a way forward that shows much promise. Of course, it's still possible for you to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but I don't see a way to achieve it without you making a mistake. I think I might be able to get a draw, though.
Well, I'm on my way through Reno today, with a driver no less. I might fuss over this as a way to overlook some scenery or some pretty scary driving. . . .
interesting. . . . I'm facing the whole haying job for a couple of months here, plus. I like to have something to think about when I can sit down under a cooler, though. Let's see. . . . wonder if Log is willing to play out the game we had going.
Surprisingly, a win for me is still possible without an obvious "mistake" on Log's part. Lots of win possibilities for Log though, and some draws.
It's your move bro.
Rc4+.
this leaves you 4 moves out of check, and eliminates my chance to go around this demise and die another kind of death. My wife is sending me out to an all-day sales meeting. A lamb to the slaughter in real life, as well as in this game.
so, you failed, again, to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
I guess I'll update the moves list and pic.:

Now being able to narrow my attention to about one fourth of the possible futures I once had, I just went back and looked at the "mistake" I made a few moves ago, moving my Rook over the b6 instead of down to h2. Now I realize that either way, this particular situation likely would have developed, or could have developed. I don't think now that even that "mistake" eliminated a real chance to win this game.
Log's last move did remove some chances for me to make a win of it, all of which would naturally involve some kind of mistake, like not taking the move he just made.
Well, I am going to lose another pawn here, and likely will lose this game. But there is some chance it could devolve into a draw, so here goes.
uhmmm. . . . you know what. . . . I was on the verge of resigning a few weeks ago. . . .There is nothing left to hope for in this game but the off chance of some Log stupidity of major proportions.
I'd rather start another game sometime soon. . . . .
52. Resign.
