Here is one of my best games, if not _the_ best
I was informed about this match just few hours prior to the game. It was 9:30 at morning and I had slept just few hours, I had my medication (atopic eczema) going on so I certanly wasn't at my best form, I was about to decline this game, but as the game would start at 12:00 I could sleep a few hours, so I accepted it. It turned out that I was in better form than I could have imagined... |

Don't know whether this is sound, but I felt it's the best option. I would remain active and stop whites worst threats. |

Wasn't sure if this is any good, but I felt that I wasn't in a winning shape, so I tried something crazy.. |

I think 14.Bxc7 would have been better. |

14... Bxc3 15. bxc3 Nxe4 16. Bxe4 Bxe4 17. Rhd1 d6 18. Rd4 Bb7

Now I felt that I was winning so I played safe. |

The bishop wants to put pressure to kings position. |

Wins! White cannot capture to d6 with the rook because he would get mated shortly. |

White resigned. He is the highest rated player I have won in a standard time game, I'm especially proud that I managed to do it with black! |
