I messed up the opening of this game, but saw a prolonged combination that was straight out of the tactics trainer. I'm pretty sure the combination was forced for quite a while; bit of a turnaround (if white had played more solidly for a couple of moves I'd have had real trouble saving the game).

Good game, small point on the analysis though - if 22. gxh3?? then 22. ... Qxh2# is a bit quicker :)

Ha, true, thanks. I think (hope) I noticed that in the actual game...
