Thanks for posting your game, Jay.  I really enjoyed playing through it.  Bad luck!

great analysis bill! now we just gotta get you to use the editor tool to SHOW, not just tell ;) you can click on FEN/PGN on jay's original example and copy that PGN file. then you can use the board editor to paste that in and create your own variations!

I agree entirely on 16...Rxa2. I actually said the same thing in my variations. You can only see the variations if you open up the "move list" box. There you'll see I suggested Rxa2 also.

Yeah, 19...Bxd3! does look much stronger than my boring Rg8. I think I was mentally tired at this point and didn't feel like looking at all the potential counter play white was going to get off of the discovered check.

And yes, I also analyzed Rg2 in my variations (move list), but didn't go as deep as you.

 

Thanks for all the analysis. That was great :)

I think after 13.Nb5, I would try 13...axb5 14.gxf6 Nxd3+ and 15...gxf6, threatening 16...Rxa2.  Black has to attack White's queen-side fast.

 After 16.Re1, why not just 16...Rxa2 and try to play Qc4 later.

Instead of 19...Rg8, Black may be winning after 19...Bxd3! (threatening 20...Qxc2 mate), and if 20.Nc5+ (20.Nxf8+ Be4), then 20...Be7 should hold. 

 White had a good threat after 20.Nc7+ (instead of 20.Nxf8) Qxc7 21.Qxf5, threatening 22.Qxe4.

Another idea, instead of 20...Rc8, perhaps 20...Rg2, threatening 21...Qxc2 mate.  If 21.Re2, Rxe2 22.Qxe2 Kxf8 looks good for Black. 

Instead of 22...Qb1+? (White will soon get out of check and in better position), perhaps 22...Kxf8 or 22...b3, then 23...Kxf8 or 23...Rxf8.

nice! i wish i had a suggestion for you on what to play :(
