Joined 14 Nov '06 Moves 17862 Game 3491705
This game was crazy. That's about all I can say.
I am very curious to read what other people found in this game, I think there was a ton of missed stuff.
Enjoy,

Why not 20.Bd7+ winning back his bishop? 1. He had a better move there (which he missed).
2. I would still have a material advantage.
3. He was playing for a draw because I had too much material on him.

20. Be8+, Bc7
21. Rxd8+, Kxd8
22. Rd1+, Kxe8
23. Qxc7, Qe7
24. Qb8+, Bc8
25. Qxc8+, Qd8
26. Qxd8#
Most of that is forced...

Edit: And it was a very dumb miss. 😞

... actually, that probably means that mate isn't forced.

I can't find any line that equalises for white after move 19, with Bd7+ not winning back the bishop due to Bxa1, leaving white with B vs R+P.
