I only looked as far as 22..Rxe3 23.Rxe3,Rxe3 24.fxe3,Qxg3+ 25.Kf1, Qxf3+ 26.Kg1 or Ke1 in one line which was good: but what if 23.fxe3?Qxg3+ 24.Kf1,Qxf3+ 25.Kg1 I hadn't visualised either Re6 threatening mate nor Ng3; if I had seen that I'd have thought He just moves his Rh2 and he's the exchange up! Didn't see the capture on e3 either.(PL)} 23.fxg3 Rxe3 24.Rxe3 Rxe3 {Again confused I saw the check on e2 with my R and forgot that his R would be on f1 and could simply block. In other words I thought his K was going backwards and getting mated!(PL)} 25.Rf1 f5 {Now Qc2 and then f2 is to white's advantage, even though the third d3 pawn falls. A piece is a piece at this stage of the game so white is better. (PL)} 26.Qd4?? {Losing the N as the black rook is supported by the pawn if the Q's come off.(PL)} Rxf3 27.Qe5 Rxf1 28.Kxf1 Qd1+ 29.Kg2 Qxd3 30.Qe8+ Kh7 31.Qf7 Qe2+ 32.Kh3 Qf3 33.Kh2 d4 {h5 is met by Qg4 and black's d pawn is good.} {#R}
