Nxc6...and it's Black laughing! (P.C.) (bas).. No Pat, it will be even worse for white, because 21.Qxc6(!), Nxc6? white wins a piece after 22.Nxc7, and white will feel extremely happy....Good point!

(bas) cq. checkmate. With my king on c2, I tend to believe that I still may have winning chances, because the position is very complex and imbalanced. When I resigned, I had less than 1 minute on the clock. That might explain my mistakes and oversights at the end of the game l would have not taken the bishop on c1 (jb)} {#R}
