26. Bxf8
White now has a material advantage and a much better position - all his pieces are in play and my Ra8 and Nb8 are still unmoved. However, Gameknot says even better was 26. Nxe5 Bc3 27. Nf7+ Kg8 28. Qa3 Bg7 29. Bxg7 Nc6 30. Bxf8 Rxf8 31. Ng5+ Kg7 32. Rd7+ Qxd7 33. Bxd7 Rf6 34. Ne4 Rf4 35. Qb2+ Kh6 36. Qxb7

26... Nc6
My knight finally comes out.

 
27. Rd7
Looks good - attacking my queen - but Gameknot says even better was 27. Bd6 Qg7 28. Bxe5 Nxe5 29. Nxe5 Rf8 30. Rd3 Rf6 31. Rd7 Rxe6 32. Rxg7 Kxg7 33. Qxb7+ Bc7 34. Qxc7+ Kf6 35. Ng4+ Kg5 36. Ne3 h6 37. Qxa7

27... Rxf8
The position is completely won for white. I played on, but no further comment is needed. According to Gameknot neither side made any more mistakes.

With my rook on b7 falling, it is time to give up. Many thanks for reading. Please rate this annotation on the star system and leave a comment or two to let me know how I am doing. Until next time dear reader!
