13. Nc4+ Ka6
Here, Freddy admits he was just looking for a way to draw here. a master just hoping for a draw against a class C-D player on the 13th move. Was my position that good? apparently the comp doesn't think so still gives -1.11 ( a pawn in favor of Black) but I still have a chance. Figuratively not literally

always give a check,it could be mate. If that logic was true I should have won the game on move 7,4 checks ago.

15... Kb6
Now here,I have to admit I was a little panicked. Now Black can escape to c7. I don't have all of my attacking force yet.

 
16. d3
developing the minor piece,only thinking of the attack later

 
16... exd3 17. Be3+ Kc7 18. Bxd3
I have to admit White's position is pretty nice. But Black can face the future with confidence.

 
18... Nd7
funny how now the f4 pawn gets in the way. If I was able to play 19.Rf1 White would have the makings of a deadly attack

 
19. Ne4
better is 19.Nxd7 now Black takes control of the game

19... Qh4+ 20. g3 Qh5 21. Be2
Black has to stop the threat of 21...Qf3 but the computer gives this as a mistake and gives 21.O-O which I will have to agree with seeing what happened later

22. Bd3 Nxe5 23. fxe5 Qf3
Black still has to be careful 23...Qxe5?? 24. Bf4 would be disasterous for Black

 
24. Kd2
only move

 
24... Bb4+ 25. c3 Rad8
the critical juncture

?? the game-losing blunder as Freddy and the computer pointed out 26.Rhe1 was necessary to survive

 
26... Qg2+ 27. Kc1 Rxd3 28. Re1 Ba3
at this point Freddy announced a mate in 5. Masters are so modest aren't they?
