21. Rxf4
bad move by me... now g5 could cost me a piece

 
21... Kh8
did he see something I didn't?

 
22. bxc5
I keep from losing a pawn on this side, but I'm still risking a piece on the other flank

 
22... bxc5
he retakes the pawn

 
23. Qxc5
I come out a pawn upo and hope the attack on his knight will keep him distracted

 
23... Ne5
It works!.. now to get those pieces out of there!

 
24. Raf1
doubling rooks on his queen (hiding behind a pawn) should keep him from playing g5

 
24... Qg7
he moves the queen out of fire

 
25. Qd5
I attack the unprotected rook

 
25... Bd7
this move links his rooks and protects all his pieces

 
26. Qd6
I keep the pressure on the pawn

 
26... Bb5
he attacks my rook

 
27. Rb1
I attack the attacker

 
27... a6
he protects it

 
28. Qb6
he has ignored g5 for so long, I think I even forgot about it!

 
28... Nc4
he forks my queen and pawn (both unprotected)

 
29. Qe6
I save the queen...

 
29... Nxa3
and the pawn dies

 
30. Rb3
the rook was in danger

 
30... Nc2
he's after a queen-rook fork on d4
