Last Wednesday, at the USCF Chess Club at the Eagles Club in Waukesha, Reid Seghers had the unlucky draw of playing Coach Reese himself!
"I should have known never to play with my food... I will never underestimate our kids again!" said Coach Reese after the game.

13. ... Nxg3 Coach Reese threatens Reid's Queen!
14. Ng6? Not seeing the threat, Reid moves his Knight, putting Coach Reese in a discovered check from his Queen. Mr. Reese
sees that he can take Reid's queen but instead elects to Trade...
14. ... Qe4.
15. Qxe4+ Nxe4 Reid takes the Queen, and Knight takes back.
16. Nxh8 Did Mr. Reese forget about his rook with all the dust on white's side of the board? Reid takes the rook and
goes a rook up on Mr. Reese!
Reid gradually loses this rook advantage however, until later in the game we see:
22. Rd3 Reid threatens to align his Rooks
22. ... Re8 Mr. Reese jumps to the attack.
23. Rf3! Reid launches a counterattack, putting Mr. Reese in check!
23. ... Kg6 Mr. Reese must move his king, allowing:
24. Rxe8 Reid takes the free pawn, re-taking the lead!
By move 26, Mr. Reese is on the run, but stays well defended. By move 54, both players have only a Rook, but Mr. Reese
has two extra pawns, one of which he is able to promote, to win the game.
Great match!
26. Rf5+ Kh4
27. Re4+ Kxh3
28. Rf3++
Or, you could have blocked with
26. ... g5
27. f4 h6
28. fxg5
Which would have still led to a single pawn as protection, and wouldnt have been long to walk you down to h2++
