21. Nf3
And now his knight, which started out as his queen side knight, now takes up the position usually taken by this king side knight! Computer says this is the best move for white in this position.

 
21... g4
The pawn was attacked, so it advances again. Computer likes this move too.

22. Bd4
He attacks my queen with tempo.

 
22... Qh6
This seems the best square for the queen.

And I reposition my knight to a more central location. Computer likes this move.

24. f6
He advances again.

 
24... Be5
I am trying to exchange bishops, and hopefully win the pawn on f6. Computer prefers Ne5.

25. Be3
He avoids the exchange and attacks my queen.

My queen drops back.

 
26. Bg5
And he re-enforces the pawn on f6.

I decide to attack his bishop. He now comes up with a combination that I hadn't seen. Computer prefers 26...Qc5+

Of course! If I take the knight, 28. f7+ is very strong.

27... Qd6
27....Ac5+ can be met with Be3, but that may have been marginally better than what I played.

 
28. Ne7+
So he throws in a check. It may be best just to give up the exchange here, but white is winning easily no matter what. Cartainly black has to avoid 28..... Kf8?? 29. Bxh6 mate. 28....Kh7 Qd3+ looks pretty grim for black too.

28... Kh8 29. Nf5
This is another strong move by white, attacking my queen. I should have taken the queens off with Qb6+ here. Black is still losing, but black is crushed in the game.

 
29... Qc5+
So I throw in this check instead.

Bishop comes back with tempo.

 
30... Qf8
30....Qb5, trying to exchange queens was probably stronger.
