    28.Nxc6? is the obvious candidate for losing move. Rook is overworked after Black's reply.

    That's why I made my previous knight move, to see if he would fall for the trap. He did, as it turned out.

    Posting your lose was a Freudian slip.

    You will learn more from that one than you will from this one.

    This is a very nice game! I have been thinking about the Slav myself, and your game is clean example.

    Thanks! I had vague memories of this opening and just sort of fell into it. Slav. Is it a tougher opening at our level? How does it rate on the big scale of openings?

    Excellent reputation at the highest levels, can be played solidly or dynamically to taste. Some lines (like the Botvinnik Variation) can be very theoretical.
