I've got a few fics games that I might annotate, but this one is pretty interesting. I sacrificed a piece for a (possibly unsound) attack, end up winning two pieces for a rook (when I think I should have only got one), won an exchange leaving rook + bishop vs rook, blundered the bishop but won the endgame

To prevent d5. | ||||

3... Nc6 4. d4 cxd4 5. Nxd4 Nxd4 |
I don't think this is good, because it brings my queen into the centre | ||||

the b6, e6, Bc5 plan is a bit slow | ||||

7. Bc4 e6 8. Bg5 Bc5 9. Qd2 h6 10. Bh4 |
Bxf6 and O-O-O might have been better, but I didn't want to give up the bishop pair | ||||

This sacrifice is probably bad - and maybe Be2 and O-O-O is better - but I think it's about the only way to get an advantage. And it looked interesting! | ||||

Refusing the peice just loses a pawn | ||||

Forced, because Kf8 loses a rook. | ||||

Attacking the queen and defending the bishop, so Rad8 is nothing to fear | ||||

Rad8 may be better, because then black has the defence 22. Nf6+? Qxf6! 23.Qxf6 Re1# | ||||

Kg8 may be better, to defend f7. | ||||

24. Nxf6+ Kg6 25. Nxe8 Rxe8 26. Kd2 |
A blunder, losing the bishop to the pin on Rd8. There is nothing wrong with Re7, or c3 to activate the king without losing material. Fortunately I was able to win the endgame without the extra piece. | ||||

|
26... Rd8 27. Rxa7 |
Kc3 might be better practically, although if black takes the bishop it makes no difference. I just took the pawn and hoped for the best! | ||||

Not wanting to give black a passed pawn! | ||||

Ignoring the threat to my kingside pawns, to push my passed pawn | ||||
