21. Kd2
"run away"

 
21... Qxf2+
"hello"

 
22. Kd3
"run away again"

 
22... Qxh2
Hmmm stymied....I have to regroup..actually, this was a wasted move. A move to h4 would have been swifter

 
23. Rf1
here comes more white force

 
23... Rdf8
I better protect myself

 
24. Bxe6
even with all this fire power, I cannot see white achieving mate in this configuration.

 
24... fxe6
and to sacrifice a Bishop for a pawn is another mistake.

 
25. Qxe6+
even with this, I am not concerned.

 
25... Kh8
my King is almost invulnerable in this situation.

 
26. Bxf8
but a good capture leads to...

 
26... Bxf8
a recapture...

 
27. Rf7
so how to capture my King...this move is not a bad move, in that it brings force to the battle, but it is not enough given the nature of my defense

 
27... Rd8
I start to think about mate...

 
28. Qf6+
a good check...forcing my hand

 
28... Kg8
now what?

 
29. e4
Aah the opening I have been waiting for.

 
29... Qh3+
check

 
30. Kc4
the King is forced into trouble

 
30... Bxe4
one move away from mate, white resigns... a good game marked by a couple of mistakes and attacks that occur too early in development with not enough force easily repelled and taken advantage of.
