22... Qc5
I think this is a mistake. I should challenge his rook on the 7th rank. I was being over-ambitious again, and nearly paid the price!

23. Qe2
Protecting the pawn and threatening a king side penetration.

Another mistake! Over-ambitious again! At the risk of repeating myself, his rook on the 7th really had to be challenged.

24. Qh5
It was only now that I realized that I was losing a pawn. Still - not the end of the game.

 
24... Qf5
This is more or less forced.

 
25. Rd5
And now my g pawn will drop.

 
25... Qf6
Not Qg6?? Rxg5 and my queen goes.

 
26. Qxg5+
Fritz prefers taking with the rook.

26... Qxg5
I need to get those queens off!

 
27. Rxg5+
He takes back.

 
27... Kh8
Of course, not Kf7? 28. Rf5!

 
28. exf4
Fritz prefers Re5.

 
28... Rxf4
I take back.

 
29. Rd1
He indirectly protects a2, as if I take on a2, he had Rd8 mate.

 
29... h6
But can't I just attack his rook first? Fritz prefers 29...e3

 
30. Rg4
He more or less forces the exchange of rooks.

 
30... Rxg4
So I take.
