19... Kxd8

and I deflect the king from f7. |

20. Bxf7 g6 21. Bb3 Rf8 22. Rd1+ Kc7
|
another free move. |

|
23. Rd3 b4 24. e5
|
the passed pawn wants to promote! the king can threaten, but I am just looking to trade anyway. If material was equal, I would wait until the pieces are traded and then escort the pawn with the king, or use its threat to create an advantage elsewhere. |

24... Rf4
|
I think Re1 and then Re2 would hold on the longest. |

|
|
|
25. e6 Re4
|
?? yes the rook is well placed behind a passed pawn, but it hangs here. if 24.Rd4 then just Re6 protecting from the rear. |

|
26. fxe4
|
the last one to make a mistake loses! |

the opening was not bad. just watch for those tactics of forks and pins. |
