Hey Colle,

For your 2nd game, just curious if you (saw / considered) 13. Nxe5 followed by 14. Qxh5, instead of 13. Ng5.  It would have gained you a free point in material. 

I also became quickly perplexed with what your opponent was thinking with move 15..Ng4?  I can only guess he was trying to save his f5 pawn by clearing the path to his rook, but I would have been more concerned with taking out your e6 pawn than saving my own on f5.

Other than that, very strong ending - good call on the forking opportunity.

And who said the opposite?

I beat GM Rakhmanator, but I was HIGHER-RATED than him... what's up with that??

He's likely the strongest player here.
