Any place I screwed up? could have done better? I did a nice sac and it worked but was there defense? At 28 Bxf5, he moved queen instead of taking, was that correct? It left me with a piece up.

I just stopped at ...Qd6, I don't see why he didn't take Bishop.

Wow, nice shot, totally didn't see that. Thanks. No defense?

I've picked out some the tactics. Black could have won this game.

As has been suggested here.


18.Nf6+ gxf6 19.Qh6 looks very good..

Black cannot take the g5 Bishop as Nxg5 and mate on h7 and the Bishop
coming to f6 and mate on g7 is a threat.

However Black has Ne7 with Nf5 this hits the Queen and holds g7. Maybe Bd3 to
stop this is on. It's getting messy. Once you see the Nd7-f5 idea (and have been
caught with the same trick in the past) you have doubts.


Here:


Black cannot take on f5. 28...gxf5 29.Qg3+ and mate.

This opening up of the g-file and Qg3+ seems to have stuck in
White's mind because here...


White played 32.Rxf5 gxf5 33.Bc4+


Black did not take the Bishop as White hoped so Black was not mated
with Qg3+ and Black is now winning.

Onto here. (Black to play)


Black could have exploited White's weak back rank with 35...Nxc4.
I cannot see any White tricks after 35...Nxc4 Black is Rook up.

Instead Black played 35...Qg6 and the chance and the game was lost.

You had quicker wins. 51.Bc4? was just a waste of time. Instead you had 51.g5+. If 51...Rg5:, 52. Re6+, and the rooks come off. Ditto 58.Ra6? Why not simply 58.Rf7+, again getting the rooks off, then you clean up his pawns.

It wouldn't have been mate, he had N-g4 protected by the pawn.

...which hangs the Queen. And playing on with no Queen is not a possibility worth mentioning. Better to get mated instead. 😛

How is queen hung? there was nothing but his queen attacking it I think, and my queen was pawn protected.

How is that going to happen when my queen is on g3?

Oh dear God.

White's Rook, from e1, takes Black's Queen, on e6.

I thought this whole thing was about black being able to win. You are confusing me!
