A difficult choice, imo.(bas)} Qe7 17.Nc5? {Gives black his pawn back pawn and an equal position.black is better by fritz16 1.57 jb} Nxd4 $10 {Which pawn to take was the big question, Nxd4 or Nxe5? It took me about 15 minutes to work it out! 17..Nxe5; 18.Nxe5, Bxe5; 19.Qxd5! is winning for Peter} 18.Qxd5 Nxf3+ $19 19.Rxf3 Bg4 20.Rf1 Rad8 $17 {Missed 20...Be2, preventing 22.Qc4 after 21...Rad8 winning the knight on c5 with check. That is why white's move 20.was also a mistake and should have been 20.Rf2. So, we are even again (bas) fritz16 black is better by 1.02 jb} 21.Qc4 Bf5 22.Bf4 Bxe5 23.Bxe5 Qxe5 $15 {It is clear that black has the better options, but that is still his only advantage.

After the cool 27.a3, black still has to demonstrate any advantage.} gxf5 $19 28.Ne6? {A serious mistake for three reasons:28.. Re8, 28..Re4 (both followed by checkmate on e1. And both, incidently, overlooked by me) and 28...fxe6 (bas)} fxe6 29.Qxe6+ Kg7 30.Qe5+ Rf6 31.Qe7+ Rf7 32.Qe5+ Kh7 {#R}
