he caught me by surprise here, anticipating he could regain the queen with a knight fork |

19... Qxh5 20. Nxg7+ Kf7 21. Nxh5 Kg6 22. Bf6 Kxh5
|
i'm down in material here, though i will be able to make it up by move 25. |

|
it also leaves me with a rook vs. 2 minor piece situation after 27, though this will work out to my advantage |

24. g3 Re8 25. Kg2 Rxe5 26. Rae1 Rxe1 27. Rxe1 Bc6
|
the advantage of two minor pieces vs. a rook is he can't afford to do a direct exchange for either, so they and the pawns can guard one another |

i've got to find a way to get my bishop into the back row before his pawns shut off all the passages |

I pretty much had the game won here, as I'll go up a pawn after this exchange is complete |
