Originally posted by !~TONY~!what is wrong with this game. It looks pretty good to me. But you definetely should have moved 22...Ra5 instead of Rf8. I am sure you can found out why. White even gives you the chance to move Ra5 in move 23. White really blundered in move 24. He should have played something like Bxh7 or Qh5+.

So to me this game looks pretty okay. You just missed a winning move twice, but everyone makes those mistakes.

After Ra5! How should white respond?
I was also playing with this line.
23. c3 Qxa2+ 24. Kc1 bxc3 25. Qb4
But I think white ends up loosing the queen to some kind of pin no matter what.
23. Qd4 is also interesting but white needs to get some offense. As soon as his peices are bogged down in defensive roles its just a matter of time to checkmate.

You are just jumping to conclusions too soon, and it can really piss people off.
I think tejo has spotted the strong moves, he just may not know why they are strong!
For the record, I can take it, but I do think there are people who can't and in my opinion we don't want to start a new fight in the forums.
