22. Nxe7+

? this seemed most logical however an intersting idea occured to me. by leaving the knight where it was I might actually have been able to keep material relatively even with 22.Bxh5!? Nxe2+ 23.Bxe2. Now I am two points down the same as If I had preserved the queen. however white is threatning to is threatning to gain the exchange for compensation which would leave material even. It would leave the position unclear as white has many ways in which to gain the exchange.

Now that white has given up the knight on d5 this is probably better than Bxh5.

I had been thinking of playing Rbd1 with the idea that white complicates things if Nxe5, then I realised that Qxe5 would be fine for black.

I deciced to solidify my main asset and hopefully this gives my other pieces more freedom of movement.

Of course having pushed my f pawn my king is now a little more exposed that he otherwise would have been.

This was a tough descision for me on one hand it challenges the c pawn but on the other hand it now means the c pawn is passed and is a real threat.

?! wrong square I think. After this move I realised black had potential forking ideas. this allows ...Rxf4!

I think Rxf4! right away would have won on the spot. I thought I had something prepared but I cant see how white gets out of it after that.

Offering a queen trade in the hopes thatthe knight vs panw would be difficult for black to win.

36... Qc5

Declining the trade. I wonder what would happen if lack had tried to push the c pawn instead. I suppose 36. ...c3 37.Qxc6 Rxc6 38.Rxd3 c2 39.Rc1

Because my queen has f5, maybe g6 clamps down on that.

admitting Kf8 was an inaccuracy.
