Game 6336192
Starting at move 26 (Kf1!?) there's a position-repeating pattern, during which White plays 4 moves and Black 3. So every four moves Black has a chance to improve the position in some way. My first thought was to push the Knight forward on the Kingside. After a while I realized this wasn't forcing enough. I finally found the winning plan of transferring the N over to the Queenside with Nh4-g6-d7-c8-a7-b5-a3 (other paths are possible). I think my opponent foresaw this idea and went for broke with 46.Nxf4.
All in all an unusual game. White was just fine until 22.Qd3? (better Nd3 intending Rc1). I like Mahoutsoukai's style, he is unafraid of complications.

I like Mahoutsoukai's style, he is unafraid of complications.
a) it was one of my best games against a 1800+ player which I think he was at the time, and even he himself admitted I was good 😉
b) a bad sportsmanship example involving one of the other players of the tournament
c) he has this scary small avatar picture, *the eye*, which freaks me out, this is why I lost my games I reckon 😉
