14. Bd2
Maybe Tolemac will take pity on me and leave his Queen there... Actually, I realised that I needed to get my king out of the firing line and moved the bishop to block the check on c1

 
14... Qxg2 15. Kc1 Qxh2 16. Kb1
Got my king out of the way for the loss of 2 more pawns

 
16... Bxc3
And then lost a knight as well... -17... I pressed the resign button at this point in time and then decided against it as I wanted to see how long I could last.

 
17. Qxc3
Aha! I finally captured a major piece... there is still hope -14

 
17... Nf2 18. Qd4
Can't remember why I moved here... (maybe I can get my bishop on c3?)

 
18... d6
freeing up white bishop

 
19. a3
Giving my king somewhere to hide

 
19... Na6 20. Be3
Might as well threaten black's knight, I figure Bc3 is a silly move as it is easily blocked

 
20... Bf5+
Check!... Black's knight is safe on this turn... Luckily I made my king a hiding spot... Additionally it frees up my rook

 
21. Ka2 Ng4
Knight got away!

 
22. Rg1
A move of the knight threatens Qxg7#

 
22... g6
Stopping the possibility of Qxg7#

 
23. Bd2
Saving my bishop

 
23... c5
Threatening my Queen

 
24. dxc6 e.p.
Don't you just love "en passant" ... at least when it suits you

 
24... Be6+
Not sure of Black's purpose here...

 
25. Kb1 f5
That's what the purpose was...

 
26. cxb7
Captured another pawn... things are looking up, only -12 now

 
26... Rab8 27. Bc3
Waited long enough...time to threaten Qg7#

 
27... Ne5
Nope, Tolemac is still watching this game
