plenty of threats down black's king side but nothing to worry, let's calmly castle |

here they come the threat is Bxh6 but the best form of defence is attack. |

11... Nh5 12. Qf3 c6
|
my blunder.. can't even remember why i chose this move. |
|

13. Qxh5 Be6 14. Bxe6 fxe6
|
that exchange suited me nicely.. but I'm still a whole piece down.. at this point I've decided that the game is pretty much lost |

here we go, nothing to lose really. I can't see a complete way through but after Rxf2 Rxf2 ... Ra-f8 is a strong attack. |

|
white must guard against discovered check with the rook attacking the queen. |

|
white is not out of danger yet. (not by a long way!) |

21. Nd2 exd4 22. h3
|
if cxd4 Bxd4 probably wins white's rook whilst h3 seems to diffuse the danger from blacks rooks. |
|

22... dxc3 23. Kh2 cxd2 24. Ba3
|
I think Bxd2 would probably better, giving up material but handing back the initiative to white. |

24... Bd4 25. Rd1 Be5+ 26. Kg1
|
oh dear.. only other choice here is 26. Qxe5 dxe5 27. Bxf8 Rxf8 28. Rxd2 swapping queen and bishop for bishop and rook and getting rid of that pesky seventh rank pawn |
|

|
26... Rf2f1+
|
I can exchange rooks because of Bd4 |
|
| |
|
|
27. Rxf1 Bd4+ 28. Kh2 Rxf1 29. Qxd6 d1=Q
|
now it's pretty much all over for white |
