23. Bxf2
Taking pieces off the board is to my advatage at this point

 
23... fxe6
This comes as no surprise. I think about Rg6 for a while so I can get the pawn at e but then I see....

 
24. Rg3xg7
Rxg7 ! this reall opens him up. I am guessing he doesn't want to trade his queen for my two rooks. and figure he will probably go Rg8 and force a swap of a couple of rooks. I like swaping material when I am ahead.

 
24... cxd4
hmm I guess he is figured on getting a pawn back. I could Bxd4 but I like R7g6 attacking his queen and threatening Rh6 . he might take another pawn but I could take back with queen and after a queen swap still have the potential mate.

 
25. Rg7g6
Or at least I think so.....

 
25... dxc3+
so he decides to put me in check and get even on material... somehow I am not concerned. there seems to be so many options here...

 
26. Kc2
I opt for Kc2 mostly because I don't like having it on the open d file but also, if he takes b2 I get to swap queens and have a win being down material. which is rare for me...

 
26... Qf4
I guess he wanted to threaten something here. but i can't handle the material equality anymore.

 
27. Qxc3+
i take the pawn and am thinking this game is pretty much mine. I put in a series of conditional moves to keep things going leading to me sacrificing the queen for Checkmate.

 
27... e5
conditional move.... (cm)

 
28. Qxe5+
cm

 
28... Qxe5
cm

 
29. Rxh6#
After i got the message that I won the game , I now wish I hadn't put in the conditional moves. I don't win against someone this level often. Work has been pretty slow so I have actually been thinking about my moves and playing with the 'analyze the board' feature. I wonder how long it will be till i get back to my normal sporadic self, but tell wife that I want a chess book for Christmas..
