After my bishop takes knight, if he takes with pawn he loses rook so he took with king which netted me the exchange, and white coming in with king was decisive in my favor, allowing a check storm.

Originally posted by vanderveldeThanks for pointing out that e4 move. Doesn't it help because of the attack on the black queen? Not even sure where I put my queen in that case. The queen only has 3 moves, and it looks like the most viable one is a5, I have the rank at least there. But doesn't that give white an out and he just moves the knight now, end of combination?
Good.
White was pretty tied I tried out a desperate move 25. e4 and some sacrifices with Knight on g5 but it doesn't help.
