Mattattack99 vs FM Lilov

18. Qe3 would have still been roughly even between you. 19.Be2??? <-- that was your mistake.
20. Kc1 would still be losing, but its still better than a mate in 2 ^^ :)

My first mistake was 14. f4? 14. Rg1 would have been better. After a simul, Lilov has a show analysing a few games he played. He highly praised his exchange sacrifice (16...Rxc3), and during the game and after my analysis agreed with him. However, Fritz 12 says this is a mistake. 16...f6 would have given black an edge, and after ...Rxc3 I had an edge. I agree, 18. Qe3 was my best move, and actually I think I would have a slight advantage.
