This was a rather exciting game (for both sides, I hope!) that shows that having the initiative (and a passed pawn or two) are at least as good as a material advantage.  Be sure to check out the "Move List" button for some interesting variations.

19. ... Re4?! Unless I'm missing something, the bishop on e2 was a sitting duck

Very interesting game in my opinion seeing as I suck, despite whatever my rating implies. I liked the commentary very much.

Actually (regarding your comment after your 26th move) it is enough to lose.  You're a piece down in this ending; you played well to create enough chances to draw, but it shouldn't have succeeded against best play.  In fact, White missed at least one win (62 Kf6).

Why'd you blunder away that knight? Did you not see it?
