O-O? {13...e5 is a better option!} 14.Bg3 Nc5 15.Bb1 Rc8 16.Qe2 Nce4 17.Nxe4 Nxe4 18.Qf3 Nd2?! {(BvR) A mistake, therefore deserves a question mark} 19.Qxb7 Nxf1 20.Rxc8? {(BvR) Returning the favour, blundering 20.Rxc1 would have won white two pieces for a rook} Qxc8 {(BvR) Only here I realised my mistake, as my intended queen-swap 21.Qxc8, Rxc8; 22.Kxf1, Rc1 would leave me with the exchange down, and a lost position} 21.Qe4 f5 22.Qxe6+ Qxe6 23.Nxe6 Nxg3 24.Nxf8? {(BvR) again overlooking a nice tactic by Patrick, loosing a piece,ie the move 25..Nc3.

(BvR) the engine is saying that white is clearly lost here (-2.27). It would be interesting to try and demonstrate this.} {#d}
