25... cxb5 26. Bxd8 Rxd8
the weakness on d4 now shows. Perhaps I shouldn't have traded too much?

 
27. b3
to prevent the knight from going to c4.

 
27... a5 28. Qe2 Nd5 29. Qd2 b4 30. a4 Bf6
the pawn is a goner

 
31. Rac1 Nc3
the knight ends up gaining an outpost on the c-file and it cripples my position even more

 
32. Qe3 Bxd4 33. Qf3 f5 34. h3
supporting a thrust to g4

 
34... Qf7 35. g4
blindly missing the threat. After I get down against higher-rated players I lose it. This is probably bordering masochism.

 
35... Qxb3 36. Qxf5
?? the final error. 36.gxf5 is better

 
36... Rf8
pin!

 
37. Qc2 Bxf2+ 38. Qxf2 Rxf2 39. Kxf2 Qxa4 40. Re7 Qa2+ 41. Kg1
I just keep making blunders

 
41... Ne2+ 42. Rxe2 Qxe2 43. Rc8+
Making checks to make the game last longer

 
43... Kf7 44. Rc7+ Kg6 45. Rxb7
another horrible mistake

45... Qe3+ 46. Kf1 Qf3+
The rest needs no explanation

 
47. Ke1 Qxb7 48. Kd1 Qg2 49. Kc1 b3 50. Kb1 Qc2+ 51. Ka1 Qc1#
All in all, a better effort than my last game vs. Freddy. But it was not enough
