haha these are the kinds of brilliant moves that drive me absolutely insane when I’m attacking someone. Looks like white has black mated in multiple different ways then muahahah black still better and perfectly safe.

By move 24, it looks like black is winning because of all the extra material that pawn gained.

What move is the brilliant defensive move?

24. Rf7!! sacrificing this rook is pretty much the only way black stays in the game. It allows for black to get his king out of a very dangerous situation to perfect king safety, a slight material advantage and good initiative.

22...bxa2! (instead of 22...bxc2 which isn't bad at all, anyway) was winning on the spot.
