14. Nc1 Nd4
looking for c2 (check) then a1. if white moves king to (d1 in order to not lose rook) then it is pawn c2... forces Ke1 then Qc3 wins the game for black

 
15. f4
nivk did well to spot the checkmate and again advances pawn.......

 
15... Bg4
Bg4 is a crutial move in this game...tberk1 is looking for Nc2.. forces Kf2 then Qc5.. check, forces Qe3 to cover king..then checkmate

 
16. fxe5
a good move here opening up the bishop defence on e3

 
16... Nc2+
king forced to f2

 
17. Kf2 Qb6+
hoping for Be3

 
18. Be3
Ne3 is next..... nivk is scrambling to defend

 
18... Nxe4+
black realises his knight would be eaten later... so he makes a pawn from this

 
19. dxe4 Nxe3
Ne3... i told you.... white must take otherwise next move they have lost by Nc2

 
20. Qxe3
queen is trapped

 
20... Bc5
hard to see a comeback from here

 
21. Bb5+
pointless... i think..but it allows king to take blacks bishop when the queen is taken

 
21... Qxb5 22. axb4 Bxe3+
and now the games pase slows down as white has a long way to come back from

 
23. Kxe3
material value bishop =3 queen=9 you do the math..

 
23... Qxe5
this is where the game is in blacks control and it tapers out from here

 
24. Nd3
attacking the queen

 
24... Qg3+ 25. Nf3 O-O
castle for unkwown reason.. should have gone Qg2

 
26. Nc5
hmmm.. Qg2 next move?

 
26... Qxg2
yep

 
27. Raf1
defending their horse at all costs but black can move Bxf3
