I had wanted my queen to take over but just messed up my move order. (R.C)} 26.Qe5+ Kg8 27.Rac1 Rxf1+ 28.Rxf1 Qc7 29.Qg5 Re8 30.Rf7? {Gives up the unprotected passed pawn which is really cramping blacks position. (R.C)} Qb6+ 31.Kg2 Rxe6 32.Re7 {Looks like the rooks can be traded and the game could be a draw. After Rxe7, there appears to be no way to get out of the perpetual checks. There are no useful queen moves so that leaves pawn moves. Eventually the next move was found but took a while to get there. (R.C)} h6! 33.Qg4 Rxe7 34.Qxg6+ Rg7 35.Qe6+ Kf8 36.Qxh6 c5 37.Qh8+ Rg8 {There are no good checks for white in this position so that means I get one move to try and get out or more checks. (R.C)} 38.Qe5 Rg6 39.Qh8+ Ke7 40.Qh7+ Kd8 41.Qh8+ Kc7 42.Qh7+ Kb8 43.Qh8+ Kb7 44.Qh7+ Ka6 45.Qh5 Qe6 {Covering the Qe2+. (R.C)} 46.Qf3 Rf6 47.Qd3+ c4 48.Qc3 Qe2+ {And white resigned. A very good opening show by Julien and finding really strong moves. I think in the next game, I mightn't have as much of a chance. (R.C)} {#R}
