21. Ne5
this attacks his Queen, adds protection for my d3 pawn, and opens my bishop up on the diagonal.

 
21... Qd4
he offers to trade Queens (basically, he forces me to, or I lose the knight)

 
22. Qxd4
I take it

 
22... Rxd4
so does he, and now my knight is naked again!

 
23. Nc6
I escape, forking a pawn and rook

 
23... Rxd3
he nabs a pawn

 
24. Rxd3
I trade rooks

 
24... Bxd3
no time to nab the pawn, I need to move the rook

 
25. Rc1
I protect my pawn, but wonder if Rd1 would have been better

 
25... a6
he saves his pawn

 
26. Bf3
I try to keep the knight contained

 
26... g5
I think he's out to free the knight with g4 to follow

 
27. Rc3
a fatal mistake..

 
27... Re1+
my goose is cooked!

 
28. Kg2
I try to run away (like "a little girly-man")

 
28... Bf1+
no good...

 
29. Kg1
forced

 
29... Bh3#
stick a fork in me!
