16. Re1
pawn is pinned.

 
16... O-O
0-0 and preparing rook for attack. at this point, black is still up a pawn.

 
17. Qg3
threatening Bcxh5, pinning the pawn. and possible check mate.

 
17... Nh5
removing threats.

 
18. Qf3
plan not working. back to an attacking position on f file. while attacking knight.

 
18... g6
that's a bad choice by black, i think, destroying it's own pawn structure, which is crucial for defense. and further more, while two bishops are snipping in that direction.

 
19. Bxh6
boom, head shot by the sniper.

 
19... Re8 20. Rxe5 Qd8 21. Rf1
putting the other rook active. attacking f7, an easy target.

 
21... Be6
guarding f7.

 
22. Bxg6
after analysing the board, and with 1 knights and 1 pawn up, i can have another pawn for a trade with my bishop. and also open up some interesting mate possibilities. even if not, just a nice trade off.

 
22... fxg6
taken the bait.

 
23. Rxe6 Rxe6 24. Qf7+
forked.

 
24... Kh8 25. Qxe6
and here, i'm 1 knight and 2 pawns up. a big possible win? well, a few move after this will tell you, that you can still loose if you don't focus.

 
25... Kh7 26. Be3 Qg8 27. Rf7+
still basically in charge.

 
27... Kh8 28. d5 Ng7 29. Qxg6
3 pawns up

 
29... Qh7 30. Qxh7+ Kxh7 31. Rxb7
4pawns up.

31... Kg8 32. Bf4
backing up rook to move to b6.

 
32... Rc8
and here's where i stop thinking before i move, and all is going down.

 
33. d6
why didn't i sticked to the first plan? i just assume i can get this pawn to the back rank. uncalculated move. which is a very bad move.

 
33... Ne6 34. Be3 Rd8 35. d7 Nf8 36. Bg5 Rxd7
3 pawns up.
