Bishops with nowhere to go at 1 o clock in the morning

Well I played this blitz game at 1:20 am causing me to do something obviously stupid at the end in what I felt like was a position that favored me. But even so I feel this game is important to go over.

I would think 15.Bxd7 wins, exchanging queens, you have a better endgame with your strong d5 square, and in case you create a passed pawn, it can always be defended with both knights but your opponent can attack it only with one bishop at a time.

25 Rxc6 has its problems too...but 25 Qa3 looks pretty good.


Wow! Qa3 is brilliant!
