Forced again. If Kf2, Bc5+ and White has to give up his queen. |

Attacking my knight. Perhaps it would be better to play Nc7 or Ne2, but I decide to counter-attack his knight on f5, which has been causing me problems. |

Now, rook takes knight, pawn takes knight, bishop takes pawn f5 and I am still in the game. Unfortunately Black finds another excellent sacrifice. |

Oops, I am more-or-less forced to take. |

May as well recapture. |

Although I am still a rook up, white's position is hopeless. Ng1 and Rh1 are still out of the game, Na8 is not doing much, while the Bd1 is a goner. Where did I go wrong? |

Post-match computer now puts Black 2.26 up |

At least I have got rid of his black squared bishop. Will my king finally find sanctuary on f2? |

I decided to at last develop my king's knight. Post-match computer gives this as a massive mistake, and rates my position as minus 8.33 and gives 27. Qe2 Qd4+ 28. Kg2 Ne3+ 29. Kg3 Rxa8 30. Qb5 Rc8 31. Ne2 Qd6+ 32. Kh3 Rc2 33. Re1 Qd5 34. Qxd5 Nxd5 35. a4 f6 as best for both sides, and black 2.4 ahead. The ending is clearly winning for Black - he is a pawn ahead and his pieces are still on better squares, but I'm not convinced that black has to even go into an ending.

I finally move my rook, although post-match computer gives Re1 as another error. |
