i don't really know what happened:

Originally posted by mazziewagabout the only thing i knew for sure about the game was that it was a draw at the end - my end game is not so shabby ... i was surprised how i survived the opening then amazed how i survived the middle game.

13.Nf4 is probably the best move I played in my life. Will never forget the joy I felt after I found there's no refutation (is there??).

Originally posted by anthiasI seriously doubt there's a real refutation, but black's best way to continue is probably Nxc4 (avoiding the mating nets by allowing the king to escape to g8) after which probably comes Rxe7 Rxe7, winning the queen for a bishop and rook.

Originally posted by flexmoreGood job, I'm surprised you pulled that off against such a higher ranked player. KUDOS!

is
Nf4 is a beautiful move - followed by awsomely powerful attack (i would like to also see your response to 13 NxBc4).
however the real strength lies in the preparation before Nf4
- and it is incredible ... your king is on your attack file as a target just moments before your dominance!!!!!

Sorry, this is in reply to anthias.
Actually now that I look at it again, I think it was his first move that doomed him... I don't know why anyone would play that... I always scold my brother when he makes early pawn moves on the f-file...
