    Tell me I am a moron.  Tell me my blunders are brilliant.  Tell me I am creative, just tell me something about my terrible game

    There are some, er, creative inaccuracies, in that game. I enjoyed looking over the game. You would have caught me with that exchange sac you have in your notes 25.Nb4 Rxb4...) I think you missed 21...Be7 22.Qa7 Ra8 23.Qb7 c5 winning material...if I calculated that correctly.

     Wow, be7 is a pretty "natural" move.  I have been missing all sorts of backwards moves recently.

    hmm,  now that I analyzed it closely it still doesn't seem to be working....

    Yep. I missed Nc6. 

    Took a look at the Be7 move with Houdini... turns out it's correct and the Queen can be trapped c5 is very bad -- Nc6 refutes it as you noted --  However, White's queen can be trapped with: 

    21...Be7 22.Qa7 Ra8 23.Qb7 Bc5! 24.Kh1 Ra7 25.Nc6 Rxb7 26.Nxd8 etc.  Ultimately black wins a N for two pawns. Connected passed pawns. So it remains tricky. Also  I just spelled out that line from memory so apologies if screwed something up. It looks right to me.

    Interesting.  I had looked at b-c5 but completely missed r-a7.  So many blind spots
