I think he could have won this one, I launced an assault on his kingside that worked a little too well, I can't seem to find any way out except possibly around moves 21 and 22...though I cannot really see it. The bishop sac is also something I'm skeptical about but it worked quite nicely. Can
Black seemed to have a number of perpetual check possibilities.
One line that looks promising for him is 27... Bf6, because after 28 Rxf6 Qh5+ (also 28... Re8 is probably strong) 29 Kg2 Re8 White's king is in trouble. White could not have played 29 Qh4 either, due to 29... Qf3+ 30 Qg3 Qxg3+ followed by 31... Kg7, trapping the rook. The rook is both precariously placed on f6, and unable to help with defense.
