In hindsight, I should have just swallowed my pride and moved the queen back to the 8th rank after 16. f4. |

Stops a rather nasty and embarrassing mate. Finally a defender to the white king arises. Time at this point: White: ~2 min; Black: ~3:30 |

Here, in my head I saw one set of moves, but did another. I originally saw this sequence: Qxc2 22.Nxf6+ Nxf6 23.Rxc2 Rxc2 24.Bxc2 Rc8. Now let's see what I actually did... |

Can you believe we've gone the entire game without a single check yet? It does not matter now though, the game is almost done, though white has all but 30 seconds left. So I now was playing to survive and steal. |

And with white having 5 seconds left, I resign here. Mate in one is unavoidable now but was preventable 2X. |
