Where is the point where black begins to have no chance of winning?

Which mistake leads to blacks' downfall? I'm pretty sure this is a playable game, until 19... Nc6

The best lines are from Rybka.

It's playable until 4...Nxe4.

piece gone = game gone

Switch off your engine and switch on your brain.

Black doesn't lose his knight from 4... Nxe4, he loses it from 5... d5

Why not 5... Be6? It allows the retreat of the knight, ends the pin, and develops a piece. My brain is most definitely on Laughing
