FM, yeah d5 at the end... I thought I'll lose by opposition while in reality it's just the opposite. I've been living on increment since move 25 and never actually managed to gain enough time to take a breath. 17...Rf7! took lots of my time.

I'm just wondering why 17...Rf7

"took lots of my time"

17... Rxf3 looks very strong. I dont think White can defend against the attack.

17...Bxf3 18.Nxf5 Bxe1 19.Nxd7+ Ke7 20.Raxd1 Kxd7 and I'm an exchange up. Definitely hoped for this but Pulpo didn't fall for it. ;-)

I saw 17...Rxf3 but I thought I could defend with the R and Q somehow?

Is today a rest day?

Maybe you can but its hard to believe :). lets say I follow up very slowly with Rxf3 gxf3 Qh4 Kg2 Nf6 (or Rf8). its very hard for you to find a move here. After Ne4 I play Nh5 and the knight on f4 will definetely kill you. whites problrm is that he doesnt have anything active to do.

Avatar of Till_98

ah and black can easiely followup with Rf8 and Bc8.

Avatar of MSC157

Oh, Bc8. You might be right, suddenly lots of pressure on h-pawn.

Avatar of Pulpofeira

Nice! But me doing an exchange sac? I did a Greek gift anyone could see once in my life and I suddenly gained 3 kg of weight.

So which is better 17...Rxf3 or Bxf3

?

With a ten second increment, someone rated +1700 should still have won that endgame.

Based on the ratings alone, MSC should win the match by at least 12.5-8.
