Black should have played 21...Kxc6.

P.S. Blacks first mistake was 4...b6. He should have played 4...Nc6.

Black should never have put himself into a position to play Kxc6.

His first mistake may have been ...c6 - it's certainly where he went out of book - but that didn't lose him the game. His most important, deadly mistake was castling on the queenside. It was quite obvious that that would put his king into the firing line of all the white pieces, and sure enough, it did.

I did not know 4...b6 was a book move. I thought it was 4...Nc6 and then the queen goes to b6.

Yes, you are right. But did not taking the knight help or hurt his cause of defense? I guess when he castled long into that messed up pawn position, he made easy pickens for the pawn storm idea on the queenside.

No, that was my typo. 4. ...b6 was the first out of book move, not, as I mistyped, 4. ...c6.
