pxp rather than g2-g3, best idea? No idea. Going for kn-h7 Queen rook fork.

 
19... fxg6 20. Nxh7
He paused here also. He has three attacking f4 with a check vs one in defense, I plan here to capture the knight with f1 if he takes f4

I have no reason to capture the rook, and I know qxq will shorten my game.

 
21. Qg3
Preparing for h file attack

 
21... Rf7 22. Qh4
Hoping against hope for eventual q-h8 [Reply to binblaster comment] I see what you are saying, ng5 followed by h2 superior, I was so surprised to make it this far, I missed this move and the easy defense of h8 he had. Thanks for the comment![pm91] I never did concieve of g4 as a possible, I will take into account piece pon support rather than just other pons, thanks!

Sing it: "Where have all my defensive pawns gone....long time passing." Of course his q threatens b1, checking in the open, which would surely be a swift demise for me. Still hoping for Q-h8.

 
23. Nf6+
Check, baby! Plus the threat at h8!

23... Qxf6
It took him 1 milisecond to destroy all my plans. For that you must PAY!

 
24. Qxf6
Try to mate me quickly with only a knight!

 
24... Rxf6 25. g3
MY f4 pawn, and you cannot have it. Way too late with g3, but no time like the present! [@Dragoncheckmate] Yea e2 is brutal, I will have to spend more time visualizing the multiple knight moves. Thanks!

Now he decides to show me what's what about who can win with less pieces.

 
27. Rxh8
Can't checkmate me if you have only one piece near my king

 
27... Kxh8 28. Rh1+
Another check for me! I have (short lived) bragging rights that I checked a chess master twice in one game. [@vladyslav] Concur, I was doing just that until my plan failed, then, knowing his ranking advantage increases exponentially with less pieces, it is fun just to prevent mate...besides I might get a draw :D Thanks!

My only goal now is to delay his movements

 
29... Ne2
Ok, here is where I make a blatent mistake, as opposed to just the ignorant ones earlier.

 
30. Rh2
h3 indicated, but not done.

 
30... Nxg3 31. Rg2
Shifting into full defensive mode to see how much longer I can last.

 
31... Ne4 32. Rg4 Rf5 33. Kc2 a6
Here comes blatent error two, now we will see why I am where I am.

 
34. Kd3
Wella!

 
34... Nf2+ 35. Kc3 Nxg4 36. Kd3
Now I revert to "You ain't checkmating me before I run out of time (had about 45 seconds left)
