This game is all about recalibrating in-game. Even when you think you are winning, you often can't or don't see as far as you want to, or you miss things. I had seen earlier that black has Rf4 Qc8, and I saw that Rf5 h6 Qxh6 f6 Qg6+ Kh8 Rh5#...
What makes this game noteworthy for me is my opponent's maneuver at moves 18-20, and how I was able to implement the "best choice among several" strategy to choose my response. Other themes were maintaining the tension, space advantage, and how on...
In this game there were two spots where I calculated well, move 22 and move 48. The first won a pawn and the second won a piece (and the game). But my endgame play really was not that good - comments are particularly welcome between moves 25 and 4...
