I think I will. I was wondering where you believed my opponent made the horrible move that brought the house of cards tumbling down. I suppose even more interesting to me is where I made a horrible move that could have brought the cards tumbling down.

Black can win a piece here with 24....Nb8.
Instead he played 24...Nc5 and went on to lose.
Backward knight moves are tough to spot sometimes. I know from painful experience.

Thanks, obviously I missed that. I'm glad my opponent missed it too!
Thanks for letting me know about the smiley. Any comments on the game I posted?
