Well played!
Yeah, i forgot to annotate it tho
But pretty much what it comes down to is i was trying to trade off as many pieces as I could until he had to move his King because i would be able to put my rook on f7, but when he made the threat down the h-file i decided to set a silly trap

Nice.
Black just couldn't resist 15...Qxb2:)
I think 15...Nc6 and...there's no win in sight (though black is still under pressure after 16.h4, but after something like ...Re8 followed by ...Ne5 the position is interesting in my opinion)
16.Qe7+ wins the house immediately:)
After 16.h4 I think 16...Nc6 may still hold. h5 isn't much of a threat now (answered by ...Qe5 for example).
The game cools down a bit after that for a while.
I must say I do not understand 25...Nxd3.
After all, 25...gxf5 26.Bxf5 Raf8 and it's not clear to me how white even makes progressm here (or even that he's still better). (Or 26.Nxf5 Bxf5 27.Bxf5 Ne4. Seems to be perfectly fine).
26.f6+ creates a protected passed pawn and disconnects black's rooks (forces Kf8). 26.f6+ Kf8 27.cxd3 seems crushing.
Black's position is still pefectly fine. Until he plays 27...Raf8. Helps white.
Just 27...Rac8 (white wasn't threatening anything) 28.Kd2 Rc7 and again... How to proceed? I see no way.
I'm not even convinced the position is not ok if black just ignores white and plays 29...Rc8. White isn't threatening anything concrete.
(continues with Kd2 ...Nc4, and black has some play).
Better should black down while the option is there:
29.gxf6+ and it's over. Taking the knight costs the rook. So it's a winning rook vs. knight endgame.
Very nice game though. Full of excitement.
calculated lol, otherwise i wouldn't have posted it :), but i did miss a key move earlier in the game at 16. I could have done Qe7+ and won myself 5pts. But it ended up well anyways.
