Here is a game that finished today from the latest round of the Ruy Lopez thematic. Until 25..Rf7 the pucker factor was pretty high. While I had an advantage and the initiative if I misstepped Black had mating threats waiting.

The note to 22..f5 should say that I didn't anticipate the move when I was pondering Ne4 and Nf3. Sheesh it must be late, the note for 25..Rf7 should say the R on f5 has to take on f6 not on f8.
