Stop and work out black's best now.

The improvement I miss, but my computer told me about, is 31....Be2! If Qh4 then Bg4+ wins the white queen - and is in fact mating soon. So 32. Qe8 is forced. Black can then simply exchange queens and is two pawns up.

Qg8 was playable, since f5 is defended by the N. There is no defence against mate: Qg8, and either Kh4, Qg3# (or Rh2+, RxR, RxR#), or Qh4, Rh2+, RxR, RxR+, Qg2#. If fxN, Qg3#.

My computer likes 33. Ng5+ but still gives advantage to black.

this is crazy! Black chooses a very complicated way to exchange Q's, but white's had another good point with Ne6.

Computer likes 34.....Bf1! now, as if 35. Rxf1 then Rh2 is mating, meanwhile black as some nasty discovered checks with his Rook on g2.

An extremely rich position!

Well done Charles, an excellent game bearing in mind it was OTB with the usual time constraints. Great analysis and and your impeccable annotating! David

Thank you, Charles! I've added a few comments lately, you haven't read yet. I had not to do that, but the game was too interesting to miss a couple of hours review!

Many thanks Joe, both for your comments and for sharing this annotation! Incidentally computer assesses the final position as minus 8.88 for white. Many thanks to you Dave, great comments! Thanks too to damalfi - always a pleasure to have your input! Welcome to black_cat_hamlet, new commentators are always welcome!
