playing against 2000 rated dasher character david at 4 am.
after 23....b-e6 what are your thoughts on the position. It was obviously a critical position
27..nxh6?? I blame lack of sleep and or time trouble. First move I looked at was qxf7 but somehow misvisualized it and thought the king had a flight square..
