MSC157 vs. Pulpofeira match
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.
18. ...Bxf3 was a serious threat.
I was going to mention that but then thought against it as u guys are higher rated.
So MSC blew it !!

Not 18...Bxf3 , but 17 ... Bxf3
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?

Fixed!
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.
