15. Bxf3 |
Ultimately, I think Kxc3 was best, even though it further exposes the king. White really should have forseen the threat of Qh4 and moving the king would have been useful. After 15. Kxf3 c5 white would still have stood worse, but it was better than the alternative. | ||||

15... fxe5 |
? Blunder. I went back to the plan of breaking up the center and opening up the lane for her royal highness, but allowed white a chance with Bxb7. 15... c6, to block the bishop's line of fire, was correct. When I made this move, I dismissed Bxb7 as a nuisence, not realizing the power of that move. | ||||

16. Rd1 |
A transparent threat. The black queen aims for h4 anyhow. 16. Bxb7 Rb8 17. Bc6 Kf7 and now 18. c5 exd4 and white, utimately, gets a reasonable game. Perhaps even an advantage. | ||||

16... Nxc4 |
free pawn! the threat of Bxb7 can safely be ignored now (17. Bxb7 Qh4 ). | ||||

17. dxe5 |
White has wasted 4 tempo (a3, Be2, Rf1 and Rd1), as well as missing the only chance to get an even game. The queen is out of the fight and the queen's knight is ill-placed, and now invites black to attack. I like 17. Qa2. If then 17... Qh4 18. Ke2 Nxe3 19. Qxe6 , while not good, is better than losing by force. | ||||

17... Qh4+ |
Nice of white to herd me where I wanted to go. | ||||

18. Kg1 |
All moves are bad, but this isn't the best move. 18 g3?? Qxh2 19 Kf1 Nxe3 20. Ke1 Nc2 and the loss of the queen. 18 Kf1 Nxe3 19 Ke2 Nxd1 20 Qxd1 Qf4 and wins. 18 Ke2 [best] Nxe3 19. Kxe3 Bc5 and white faces a strong attack, but doesn't fold immediately. | ||||

18... Nxe3 |
Free bishop! | ||||

19. Re1 |
?? Final blunder | ||||

19... Nc2 |
White has to give up the rook with 20 Re4 Qxe4 21 Bxe4 Nxa1 and the threat of Bxb7 remains, now that white's pieces are scattered, negligable. White's problems began with Nc2 and, 10 moves later, Nc2 seals it. When down in material, ATTACK! Time is against you, then. And keep an eye on c2/7 and f2/7. | ||||
